I just became a dealer for AVM AUDIO and brought in their tube pre PA5.2 and their mono blocks MA3.2 I HAVE NOT HEARD ANY OF THEIR CD PLAYERS but... based on the outstanding quality of their pre-amps and amps then I would put them on my short list.
AV SHOWROOMS JUST FINISHED A REVIEW ON SOME OF THE AVM AUDIO pieces so check them out!!!

Calvinj...If your after a warm sounding CD player find a brand that uses Wolfson DAC's. The British are very fond of Wolfson since they have a warm, detailed relaxed character that is very analog sounding. If you win the Powerball, then buy the best sounding CD/SACD player's on the market. The top models from Accuphase. Warm, rich, very smooth analog sound. Once you step up to Accuphase you will be melting your vinyl records to make dinosaur toys.
Just received the AVM 3.2 CD player. Initial impressions relative to an Ayon CD 1s in the same system --- those attributes that are essentially equally good are imaging, fullness/body/heft/palpable presence, PRAT and clarity. The AVM is slightly quieter in terms of background noise, is noticeably more dynamic than the Ayon and is also more bass prominent (depending upon what one listens to that can be good or bad). The Ayon is warmer (but not really that warm itself). The AVM is not warm at all --- actually, it is rather bright on some of the poorer recordings (whereas the Ayon smooths out some of that brightness on the poorer recordings).

We will see with time how the sound changes with burn in --- but as of now the 3.2 CD player is different from and fairly comparable to but slightly lesser than the Ayon CD1s --- if the edginess smooths over time (which is possible) then perhaps it will be just different. So... perhaps that helps.
