there are no all tube cd players. they're hybrid at most or just having tubes for output.
Don't know if it's the best cause it's the only tube cd player I've heard and I'm sure alot on the site would say it isn't but I enjoy the music from my Jolida JD 100.

ModWright Modified Sony CD-XA777ES Tube SACD CD Player with matching ModWright 9.0 Tube Power Supply and Custom Made Kimber Cable Power Supply Umbilical to power supply



Correct model number is ModWright Modified Sony SCD-XA777ES Tube SACD CD Player with matching ModWright 9.0 Tube Power Supply with Kimber cable in between the Sony tube CD player and tube power supply. 
EAR Acute CDPs. Great sounding units that never seemed to garner much press.
Also Aesthetix CDPs, more great stuff.
+10 for the Aesthetix…a guy who knows great analog and digital…and tubes……
One of the best sounding CD player / DACs I've heard (tube or solid state) is the Black Ice Audio Transport DAC (tube output stage). I think the retail price is very reasonable considering the sound quality. Unfortunately, they are backordered for several months out.

The Canor CD 1.10 and CD 2.10 are excellent with a tube based output stage.
