CDP – Cary 308, Consonance 120 or Cambridge 740?

My short list for a used CDP in the under $1,000 is down to the Cary 308, Consonance CD120 or Cambridge 740C. My other components tend to be fairly unforgiving (Rowland pre, Edge power & Theil 2.3 speakers), so I'm looking for warmth without sacrificing detail. As always, I'd value your input and opinions.

I previously owned the Cary CD-308 and it was a good CD player. However, I wouldn't consider it particularly unforgiving. I consider it more neutral.

A good friend owns the Consonance CD120 Linear (the non-oversampling version of the CD120) and he really likes it (I haven't heard it). He's a huge analog fan and thinks the CD120 Linear is a good budget CD player that that meets the needs of a budget analog junkie...

Enjoy,
