problems with 24 bit cd players

i am searching for a cd player--preferably one with tubes.

i have auditioned a number of them and something is wrong. i perceive a dip in the 100 to 200hz region and a slight peak in the upper mids/lower treble region.

is it possible that one can buy a current production player which is 20 bit and no up sampling ?

i haven't found any, nor am i looking for a dac, although i am aware that there exists non-upsampling dacs.

MrT,

There also exist non-oversampling single box CD players. The is a version of the Consonance called "Linear" which is non-OS. I think there is also a non-OS player from Audionote.

How about the tube output player from Granite Audio? I think it is a 20 bit unit, but I'm not sure of that.

Enjoy,

TIC
