I think all these players mentioned on this thread will be good. Certainly, I can attest to the Jolida JD-100 as I owned one in the past and enjoyed it immensely. Not perfect but a very listenable and rhythmical player. As with many tube players, it is that "immediate" midrange characteristic that can often be arresting.
I have had the Consonance in my home as well. It is also a very good player. A bit more even balanced than the Jolida, though perhaps a bit more constrained (or restrained) too. But imminently enjoyable. While both the Jolida and Consonace can be described as slightly warm, the Jolida is probably more so. You could not go wrong with either. I have not had the Shanling but, from all that I have read it too would provide the characteristics that you are seeking. It is a highly regarded player.
There have been some Trivisata 21 dacs floating around Audiogon lately and, here we take another definite step up. Fed by a lowly Pioneer DVD transport, the Trivista is a class act in the sonics department. It throws a deep and well defined soundstage - better than the Jolida and the Consonance. Frequency extremes are well covered and the sonic character is detailed, warm and musical. If I was in the market for a player or dac, I believe I would opt for the Trivista and a cheap Pioneer transport.
But it's all subjective, you must try listen to whatever you can get your hands on. In the end there are many good players on the market.
