CD player closest to vinyl?

Meridian and Naim are close but are very expensive.

I got one that pops and ticks when I play it but my woofer cones don't go in and out and sway back and forth so I can't help. And I can't sing 'she'll be coming around the mountain' like for a slow meandering black vinyl disc because that dam shiny cd disc goes so fast I can't come up with a pleasant song for that.

it's a rhetorical question, since vinyl=turntable, arm and cartridge, and lp.

vinyl does not have a unique sound,as a result of the aforementioned variables.

I find that most digital systems can't quite get the lack of compression of vinyl. It's especially obvious when I turn the volume knob higher.

The EMM Labs/Playback Designs DAC is unique in that it is a 2xDSD DAC (PCM is converted to 2xDSD before conversion to analog) and I find that it makes my CDs and especially SACDs sound less compressed and closer to vinyl.

But the Playback has that same midbass emphasis I get with my Project RPM10.1/SumikoBB/Bel Canto Phono3 combination. The EMM Labs is a bit more extended and detailed to a lower octave.

I think they are both well worth a listen.
