smooth warm CDP with SACD


I have a Rotel amp RB 1080 and the Rotel RC 1090 CDP. The CDP is to foward in the highs and seems to have a bloated exaggerated bottom end. Its not a natural sounding CDP to me, especially paired with the 200 watt amp. So what warm CDP's are out there that,s not bright and bloated in the bottom end?

I have a Rotel RB 1080 Amp and its just a wonder piece of gear. It produces a wondful bottom end. I also have a Marants VC6001 Universal player that has a nice warm SACD player. But I do want a dedicated player. I have also thought of the Marant SA8001. It was rated by stereophile as one of the best with players costing much more.
Know where I can get a good one for a reasonable price, as a new one may be out of my price point.
Yoby, I'm not so sure about the interconnect argument. I can't say that there is that much improvement through them but I do use audioquest and monster.
DOn't know where I can go and take a listen to the Rega players. Would love to take a listen.
Never really gave to much thought about Anthems CDP's as much as there amps. Will give it a little more thought.
