I have now come across two reviews of the Rega Apollo, where the reviewers say that it sounds like a turntable.
Any Apollo owners/listeners care to comment on that?
Some CDPs can sound, due to the nature of CD processing and bit rates, analytical - I would imagine the Apollo has a more organic edge to its presentation. Others I've actually heard such as Exposure 2010S, Arcam 73T & 192 fall into a very similar bracket.
Add the SA7001-KI from Marantz on to that list then. Very neutral, non-harsh sounding CD player.
Not heard the Marantz CDP, but oddly their are a number of rustic sounding CDPs, as long as you avoid Cyrus, Audiolab etc. (No, before anyone pulls me up on the comment, I do like Cyrus, Audiolab).... sighs with relief.
