problems with 24 bit cd players


i am searching for a cd player--preferably one with tubes.

i have auditioned a number of them and something is wrong. i perceive a dip in the 100 to 200hz region and a slight peak in the upper mids/lower treble region.

is it possible that one can buy a current production player which is 20 bit and no up sampling ?

i haven't found any, nor am i looking for a dac, although i am aware that there exists non-upsampling dacs.

Mrtennis, I am using a 24 bit Quad cdp-2 and I find just the opposite, a peak in mid-bass and a dip in upper mids. You probably have tried it already.
