is the esoteric dv50 still a good cd player?

I found it to be better then average as a cdp. I found it to be a great transport used with one of the newer dac.

is it comparable to cambridge audio 840c?

what do you mean by average?

thanks

I used one for years and it is a very good player especially for the price they go for now, does everything but Blu-ray and has excellent bass control and definition.

I moved up to EMMLabs and got much smoother mids and highs with the same or better bass control but it cost a lot for the jump!
