You might consider a Sony player with Modwright Signature Truth mods. This includes a tube output stage that some might describe as "warm". I like to call it neutral because warm implies rolled off highs. While this is not a cheap option, it can be less expensive than some of the other choices.
I just purchased a Sony 9000ES with this mod and am very pleased. I plan to publish a review as soon as I get a better handle on the sound and have time to put my thoughts into the computer.
Happy listening,
