Is cheap, smooth, digital sound possible?

I've recently gotten into vinyl playback and have grown to love its very smooth, warm sound. I only have a few CD players in the house, none of which I would consider "smooth." They are a Sony DVP something (cheap DVD/SACD player), and an NAD T532 DVD player. I've tried listening to music on my iPod which sounded a bit more laid back, but still caused listening fatigue after a short while. Is it possible to obtain a cheap player/DAC that will have a nice, warm sound that won't give me listening fatigue so easily?

Stereophile did a recent review of the Sony Playstation 1, and the reviewer said he couldnt understand what all the fuss was about with the Sony he had been reading about on the web.

I'd get a Bolder modded Art DI/O DAC for ~$350 and try it with both players,then use the player that sounds best as a transport.
