Sound Quest and Granite Audio Tube CD Players


In my search for a CD player I came across two tube based players; Granite Audio and Sound Quest.  Both had great reviews, but most of the reviews are from the early 2000's.  However both are still available.  I am not sure if they have been updated with advances in their DACs over time.  Anyone have any current information or experience with them?

Thanks for the comments.  I had initially thought of getting a straight transport ( to replace my Luxman D380 which is a little uninspiring ) to run through my Bricasti M3.  I looked into the ProjectRS2 but heard from two dealers that they were over- run with defective units.  Have you had any issues with yours?

Zero issues with mine since July, 2020.

Having a decent DAC you’ll be better off with even a cheap transport rather than a CDP.
