An upfront and intimate player

continuing my search for a cd player for my system...

have learned from auditioning the BAT VK D5SE that I don't really care for a mellow, laid back sound. the BAT has a wide soundstage, but to me, sounds "cavernous", with voices and instruments placed back behind the speakers.

i'd like to audition a player that is more immediate, upfront and intimate sounding.

any suggestions?

HI Dennis, I have never heard this player, but I thought I'd mention it since it seems to be all the rage in the UK right now for precisely the sound you're asking for :
Naim CD5. Apparently much better than previous Naim players, very dynamic and detailed without being too in-your-face. It might be worth a listen if you can find a nearby dealer.
