Well, after some initial listening, I can state that this is one outstanding CD player.
It easily betters the Cambridge 840C, which is something I did not think it would do. The sound from this is VERY smooth, with no noticeable hardness or shrill sound one sometimes notices from the CD source.
There are a ton of CD players out there. With all the choices available, its not always easy to find the right combination of price/performance for one's system. When one does come across a player that exceeds expectations, its always a bonus.
