I've found the cd player for analog lovers

I'm the guy who said on Audiogon, "When is digital going to get the soul of music?". Let me just say that I've found the digital player that rivals or beats analog. No, it is not $40,000. Please read me on my thread! I do believe that there is much variability with cd's. So not all cd's are created equally. The player in question is APL Hi-Fi's Denon 3910. I've found that volume is really critical. Alex voiced his player while comparing it to analog. Let me just tell you that I used to get tense from cd. I'm not saying that all cd's will sound great. For instance, my friend bought a cd from Walmart that was Van Morrison's greatest hits. It was hard to listen to through the digital haze to the music on Alex's $19,000(not your price)cd player.

Warrenh, you are probably right, except that I come from music. Is there certain music that is more correct? I had a dream right around the time that I received the APL Hi-Fi Denon 3910. It consisted of me receiving gifts. I finally figured out that it had to do with the APL Denon! Can you excuse me, there are some people with white coats knocking on my front door?

Well if it's only $19K or whatever--sure can't tell from the post--AND it beats analogue--I'll keep my Thorens TT and buy a car with the savings.

I want to apologize to Warrenh. In fact, can you recommend any albums or cd's for me to listen to? My musical tastes have to broaden. Tarsando, I posted on the price of the APL, but maybe it hasn't gone through yet. If your finances don't permit, you might want to investigate Ori's(of Oritek Audio) Zhalou DAC. I don't know if it will satisfy like analog can, but it is considerably cheaper than the APL. I have problems with a lot of cd players, so if you are like me, I wouldn't buy one unless it satisfies. I also have problems with lp's made after 1981.
