Well, Best CD Player for the money. If i had the cabbage I'd go for the Tri Vista SACD but 6.5K runs it steep. Gamut CD1, I'm listening to now is nice but still 4K less step but still...Audio Note CD2.1x tube nice sound runs at1.5K and the winner is Musical Fidelity A3.2cr at 1595.00.

The Pass Labs DAC 1 is very fine. The Linn players, even the cheaper ones, have tremendous bounce, pace and rhythm. Friends tell me the EMC-1-etc. is very fine. I recently bought the MUSE Model 10 after much searching. It is simply stunning and the best I have ever heard.
