Splendid dedicated cd player, competes in the "best for less than a grand" category with ease, a massive improvement over the £200 pack, suits a wide range of systems, solid build quality, sacd compatible, superb bass control..
Shop around and look for discount as the player ain't new to the market, would pair well with denons amp, pma 1500, released to support this player, one caveat don't judge it till you've run it in for a few weeks at least.
