It is definitely possible to make a great sounding CD on a miniscule
budget--the best way is to use digital recording to begin with.  

Warpaint was digitally recorded (check the notes).

Others:

Psychic TV's Descending (1985--thee earliest CD only release i know ov)
    and Live in Berlin--both digitally recorded live.

Chris and Cosey's Allotropy--maybe not digitally recorded (doesn't say),
    but it has the loonnggesssttt fade-in i've ever heard, and hiss free.

Robyn Hitchcock's Eye--again no notation on recording included, but very
    clear sounding.

Also the last 3 Neil Young CDs, all digitally recorded, but doubtless on a
larger budget.  


Exceptionally noisy CDs i know of:

Psychic TV's Allegory and Self
Brian Eno's Thursday Afternoon (he might argue the hiss is part of the
   ambience)
