What's the most anolog sounding CDP

Looking for an outstanding 1996-2000 circa redbook CDP (Or trans Dac combo).

I'm looking for a great value.

Do any of yall' have a suggestion?

I'm running Cary Audio Design 300se Sig Monos, and Cary pre (all class A operation).

Thanks

Fatcataudio, you are the first person that I have EVER heard referring to the Accuphase DP 75V as, "...clinical, sterile sounding player[s]". Perhaps you have a problem somewhere else in your audio chain! Actually, I apologize for being somewhat snide, but front end equipment will voice differently when using S.S. amplification vs. tube amplification.

I love my Resolution Audio Opus 21. Great support from the company too.

Fatparrot-

I guess another way of saying it was the way Bigkidz said it, the Accupahse gear sounds boring, not dynamic or musical at all, which is why I called it clinical.

The rest of my systems are fine, I just don't care for the Accuphase sound, or price. Again, just my opinions-take em or leave em.
