Does anyone know of a non-digital sounding cd?

I have a couple of nice sounding cds that really don't come across as being so digital ( Diana Krall: Look of Love, and Eric Clapton: Unplugged ), and a few others. I just bought one tonite, and seemed a little too much digital, and it bothers me to plunk down $18. for it.
The ones I have, have good vocal presence, spaciousness, separation, and are very warm and lively, with very good soundstage.
It was 'Riding With The King': Eric Clapton / BB King. One vocal comes out of one speaker almost, and the other does the same, but only with the other speaker, and that same digital haze, with no real 3 dimensional imaging.
I have a Roksan caspian cd player, that can sound decent when it is playing certain cds, and can come across as a good sounding player, atleast it does to me.
I have been reading about xrcd. I would appreciate anyones
thoughts.

Thanks for your info. I have written most this down, and am on my way to the *Beat*, here in Sacramento to look for these.

Here's how if you have a CD burner:

Make a copy of CD, but this time don't use any balnk CDR. Instead, use only the Verbatim Digital Vinyl: See http://www.verbatim.com/products/products.cfm?pro_id=379

I just got my xrcd at 'The Beat' here in Sacto. It was very , very good, and the sax was right in my living room. The stereo was alittle to one side, yet the good ++ definitely
outweighed the bad. I try not to be too picky, cause there are better ways to enjoy things, like learning to appreciate what I already have. If the cd sounds too superficial though
it will be given to someone for Christmas. Thx everyone for all the replies, and happy holidays ++++++!!
