Canary CD100 tube vs Cayin 17 tube


Anyone care to give these 2 excellent looking players a compare? The Cayin uses Philips trans and has 4 out tubes/2 per channel. The Canary uses Sony trans and Sony dac. Canary also boasts they use the Hovland Music caps and other fine components. From looking at the guts of both, the Canary looks more impressive with those gorgeous Hovland. But the Cayin gives 2 tubes per channel. hummm could be a very interesting contest. Both are priced close, the Cayin you'll have to get used if you what it at the price of a new Canary/$1400. A new Cayin is $1600, but comming down. Another important issue among many members here is that Canary is made in USA in California. I'd like to get a canary and do a commpare with my 17. And end up selling one/or keeping both. One for a second system.
But that will have to wait as i am unemployed right now.
Any Canary CD100 owners wish to share their experience? I've alreday posted comments on the Cayin 17 recently.
I'd like to keep the compare between these 2 tube players as the price point is close. Both are hefty units at 50 lbs.

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.
Audiofeil's comment that Canary sent 6moons a faulty unit for the review. Sounds like another american lab's story on their cdp. A famous lab btw. So don't anyone knock chinese as 'trash'. Also the unit broke 2X's in first 3 months. Had to ship it twice for repairs. Besides i really feel my Cayin 17 matches or surpasses this famous american labs tube player.
My 2 cents, take it for what its worth.
So will Canary send me a unit for review or not?
Audiofeil: "There are other cdp in this under 1500 price range to consider". Yeah, like which one? Comapred to the Cayin 17? I pd 1200. Which cdp will match the Cayin 17 under 2K, heck I'll throw in another 1K for you to spend, so make that under 3K?
