I agree with @rar1 , I have the ERC2 and love it, sounds great to me, even though I have not compared it with other players on that system. I love how the remote is super heavy and substantial, and the player sounds great! I’m guessing it’s a killer bang for your buck

I have the ERC-3 and have been happy with the sound through the speakers. It’s the sound of the disc spinning in the machine that troubles me. In quiet pieces this rattle is enough to distract from the listening experience at times. I wouldn’t say absolutely don’t get one, but I’m not positive I’d buy it again. 

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

I thought the highs were rolled off! Sold it!

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.
