Warm, fullbodied, smooth, and transparent

Grover Huffman SX: warm, full-bodied, smooth, transparent -- as well as tonally accurate, detailed, and incredibly quiet. All for $200. Amazing. And they don't take nearly as long to burn in as some people say.

Seabreeze, What CD player do you have?

My advice: Don't spend a lot of money on a cable; but a new CD player instead, for instance, a used Rega Apollo.

Seabreeze, What ICs do you use now?

Seabreeze, You need to indicate what you're willing to spend on the IC. Choices are limited, if little.

If around $500, my advice is to use that to buy a used Rega Apollo CD player, or another brand known for being smooth and natural sounding.

Cardas Golden Cross is famous for warming up and taming bright systems.

In general, stick with copper and stay away from cables that utilize silver.

Seabreeze, See the new thread "Golden Reference or Golden Cross?"

Seabreeze, I'm not familiar with your Cambridge Audio CD player, but, considering that it could be your no-name IC that's making your CD player sound bright, not the player itself, you may want to audition what is generally regarded as a neutral cable, as well. A warm cable could, potentially, push you too far in the opposite direction.

You never mentioned a price range for the IC you want to buy, information that would be helpful.
