Which warm sounding cd player for under $400?


I have a ancient 5355 NAD cd player that been in my system for a year and I think its time for an upgrade. I still want the warm sound with clarity and detail. I'm consider the following players:

NAD C521i or C541i
Rotel RCD-955AX
AMC CDb8 or CDb6

If you have any other conideration please feel free th ask.

Thanks Alfredo

In my humble opinion, the Music Hall CD25 is a great player in this price range.

I liked the NAD 541i but wouldn't call it warm. I sold it and got the Minimax tube CDP ($700).
A Rega Planet 2000 used will fill the bill, IMHO. I had one for awhile. The *only* problem I had with it was that the soundstage wasn't big enough for huge symphonic ensembles. Makes a great transport too.
