CD players with no or configurable upsampling

I know Creek Evo has no upsampling abilities
Any other ones?
What is the advantage of having none?

Smooth, relaxed, musical, yet detailed and great PRaT. Lovely analogue sounding unit. Recipient of many awards. They make the 2.2 Reference (tubed w/ 4 DACs), Ofeo (top of the line Forbidden City, 4 DACs and better chassis), and DAC16 (DAC portion of Linear CD)

I enjoyed my time with the 120 Linear. It was so musical and I found it very anologue sounding to my ears. The only comparison I made it to was a Resolution Audio CD50. The Linear had better pace but was not quite as analogue sounding, but not far off either. The Resolution had a bit better detail. It was more engaging and held its own quite well to this costly player.
