BAT VK-D5 SE CD player

I don't own the SE version but I do own the VK-D5 version.
A couple of years ago I was on my quest for my nirvana CDP..
I bought & sold several that by review I had hoped would be
what I was looking for..something to bring my classical music
CD collection as close to real as a digital device possibly could...
I was disappointed in all that I had tried and, in fact, felt
I was taking a step back from the very pleasant and sweet sound of the Jolida.
I took a chance on the BAT and it delivered exactly what
I had been searching for: Sweet yet dynamic...it creates a huge SoundStage not only in width, but in depth, which in my opinion is what classical music needs...beautiful layers
...
I have not, in these 2 years ever yearned for "Is there something better?"...except maybe wondering if the SE version could possibly be...

Thanks to all!

Please see my reply to your thread on audio asylum

before buying a bat vk d5 cd player, consider a musical fidelity a5. i have owned both. i found the bat unforgiving of problem recordings and overly focused.

Yes, I noticed it. Unfortunately, it's hard to borrow the Musical Fidelity, though I heard a lot of good things about it.
