Anyone have any experience with this player? It's a CD recorder, HD jukebox combo. How is the sound quality?

Just purchased this player, hoping to use it as a standalone harddrive based jukebox.

hi
there are a few reviews on audioreview.com.
i own this unit myself and am very happy with it .for the prize it offers me the perfect storage copying maschine i can wish.takes a while to get through the manual.
i copied more than 200 cds for my private use and it still works great.
hope you have fun with it.
what do you want to use it for?

Thanks for the reply! I was starting to think that no one has this unit!

I am going to be mainly using it as a CD player, not as a CD recorder.

How is the sound quality of this unit? Do I need an external DAC with it? I rather not, since I prefer one box solutions over 2 box solutions.

I read that the built in DAC is 24bit, so I figure it might be pretty good.

Just took delivery of the CDR-HD1300 today.

Amazing unit. Already copied 5 CDs onto the harddrive. Started playing the music off the harddrive.

Super quiet harddrive, can't hear the harddrive spinning unless I pin my ears to the unit. The music is crisp, detailed, neutral, transparent.
