Muralman, I owned both the Planet and the Pioneer PD-65 at the same time. No contest, the Planet beats it in every area with the exception of build quality. BTW there are no CD players that sound like analog, just as there are no solid state rigs that sound like tubes, but many like to apply a bit of self-hipnosis to believe that the Yeti exists.
Lot's of good suggestions & it comes down to personal preferences. 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.
Despite all the great suggestions, there's always got to be one that has to regurgitate what they read in Stereophile a few years ago. 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.
