Bad Points: Not much.
General comments: I find the overall sound quality of the Arcam Alpha 7SE extremely listenable.

Whichever disc gets put in, the Arcam simply plays it to the max without disappointing.

I tried a few CD players at the same sort of price point inc Sony, Marantz and Nad and the thing that stood out with the Arcam was the sound stage.

compared to the NAD 540 the Arcam is more detailed in the bass, and there is much more air in the treble. The Arcam sounds dynamic, lively and natural, and it can be upgraded to Alpha 9 spec so i think it's the best value at the price.
