Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube

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

What 6moons review on the Canary CD100? They had it in previews for some time then it dropped off w/out a review. Next thing I see is one for sale by a Canary dealer as a "demo" for $1400 and I did a little fanciful reading between the lines.

AFAIK the terms retail and list mean the same thing. Somebody correct me if I have it wrong. If we agree on that the Canary retail is $2795.

Regarding 6moons review, the initial player sent for review was faulty. A replacement was never submitted and the "current preview" was pulled.

Well what are we to make of the story? Is there a Canary cdp or not? I only 1 dealer listing(retail/his price/whatever) @ 1400.
Yes I see the site says , manufactured in USA.
