Advice from vinyl types on a good CD player

Resolution Audio Opus 21
Naim CDPs
These come close to vinyl in terms of tonality.
The Opus needs DIN to RCA interconnects to sound its best.

I've been in the same position as Albert and for voices, small jazz groups, solo instruments and string quartetts my search has ended with the ZANDEN combo. Expensive but worth while to these here old ears. I still have to find a player, satisfying my needs, as far as classical big orchestral music is concerned. Another way to go could be the REQEST music server plus laptop and a decent DAC ( I use dcs )or Steve Nugent's USB dac, the SPOILER with PACECAR. You could then do without a transport and rip your CDs to HD. On a more general level, I completely agree with Albert: To us spoilt vinyl junkies the digital revolution hasn't happened so far, but it will, when the hi-res downloads become reality.

Audio research CD7 and Classe CDP 202.

AMR CD-77 ended my quest (my analogue front-end is the Well Tempered Reference). There are a number of threads on this one-box player.

On last week's HighEnd in Munich it was on demo in a room where the analogue front consisted of Garrard 501 with Origin Live arm and Lyra Titan. Different of course, but to full musical satisfaction.

Another - rather more expensive - avenue would be to try a Jadis combo.

Stock Njoe Tjoeb for bright cds. Hagtec dac for well recorded cd's. I couldn't find one box that did well on both.
