CD Players with Analogue Sound

A lot of us have traversed all parts of the planet in that never-ending quest to find..... the CD player with that lush, analogue sound.

Whichever CDP you choose, you can take it to the next level with mods. I have a Meridian 508.20 & had Blackgates & Schottky's put in. Absolutely no digital glare. I also auditioned the ARC CD3 & thought it was very smooth. I was tempted to buy it but upgraded to an Ayre V-5x instead.

Have you ever actually listened to this unit? The original poster asked about CD players that sounded like analog, not a piece of junk that sounds like.....a piece of junk.
