Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube

I;m thinging now, whereas the cayin gives one extra tube per channel, that might not be enough to match the Canary's Hovland Music caps. IOW you trade off 2 little tubes for 4 large caps, and 2 small ones. The Canary will mostly sing more beautifully than my Cayin. Now it comes down to which dac/trans is the finer of the 2, the Philips vs the Sony. Or did someone tell me the other day its the same company.?

The list price of the Canary is $2795 not $1400. It is made in California not China. Canary and Cayin are separate companies. There is no sonic correlation between the number of tubes per channel and the capacitors used.

You need to do a little homework before posting.

I see a Canary CD100 @ $1400 from a seller here. Where am i wrong. Also someone from China just told me the unit is designed/made in china. I am basing it on that statement. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Your last comment "there is no....the caps used" , makes no sense to me, please explain further if you'd be so kind.

I inferred from your opening post that you thought the retail price of the Canary is $1400. The wording is unclear to me. Apologies if I misunderstood.

You "heard" the Canary is made in China? Made in the USA according to the website.

I'm sorry if my statement regarding number of caps and tubes makes no sense to you. Suffice it to say that drawing a comparison between 2 cd players based on number of capacitors and tubes is disingenuous.

Good luck in whichever you choose. There are many other choices in your price range to consider.

PS The Canary's remote options suck. It has very few functions. Check out the 6moons review.

Hi audiofeil, thanks for clarifying with the info. I didn't expect many comments on the Canary as it is new model. The remote from the photo does have a 'cheap" appearance to it. Unlike the Cayin remote which is 1st class. I never use a remote though. Good to know its made in the USA.
I brought up the tube and cap differences more to point to tech aspects, and agree may have zero bearing on sound quality. I will say I prefer tube players vs ss, everytime. The caps in the Cayin look like toys compared to the Hovlands. But as you say it may hvae absoluetly no bearing on music outcome.
The list/retail price thing I find very confusing. When I bought my Jadis from Northstar/USA dealer, he always had to make a calculation, Pierre does the "discount" calculation also. I just don't get it. I guess its for accounting purooses. Just tell me the retail price, I could care less what the "list" ?? price is.
So is $1400 correct?
What I was trying to also say is that the 2 units are close (equal) in price. Both are tube. Thus the comaprare. The chinese guy also told me "in that price range you can do better" and he mentioned a name I don't like. I prefer tubes and thats what this topic is about. Tube players under $2K.
I'll look at the 6mons review. I thought their review of the Cayin A88 was SUPER and the best review I've read on any eqip, ever. Really surprised me the style and method of review.
Audiofeil can you help direct me to the 6moons review of the CanaryCD100. I can't seem to find it
