I own an ERC-3 and it is a solidly built unit with at least decent sound. Most of my digital listening is done via ripped music on my network drive, but I like having the CD player to audition new material
Sound quality differences between CD players that aren't broken are almost entirely imaginary. I have several disk players, only one is a dedicated CD player and it almost never gets used. Streaming my library from hard drive storage is too convenient. The main CD player that I use is the one in my computer for ripping to hard drive.
I had ERC 3, nice sound but mechanism failed 3 times, Trade in sounded good but ERC 4 did not. Alot lighter product lower gain at outputs, did not sound as good as the 3. Using as transport now with old Wadia 26. Has great quality connectors. Has done well as transport.
