Advice from vinyl types on a good CD player

I am interested in some suggestions for a good CD player from people that have an audiophile vinyl setup. I have a VPI TNT with ARC phono ref and ref 1. I just can't get into listening to CD's even though I have several thousand. I've tried an ARC CD1 and thought it sounded like crap. I've auditioned some higher end players from Levinson etc and they've all left me cold. I bought a DVD player that also played SACD's and I was impressed with the Elton John SACD's. They were obviously well remastered and had a sound closer to vinyl. I don't want to get into the whole CD vs vinyl debate. So if you have a vinyl setup and a CD setup I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
