Tubed CD Player

Go to Audio Asylum and search for the Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 and the Jolida CD100. You'll find numerous threads about these (and others), but these are two of the most respected players for under $1000.

I've heard a few of them. The Ah! is my number one choice for under $1000. Not as detailed as a big bucks player, but very very good and nice to listen to. The model I heard had all the options except the 24/192.

For high dollar tubed players the Audio Aero 24/192 and the Metronome C2 are both absolutely wonderful. Another player you should definitely consider is the Audiomeca. I used to own the Enkthuisas 24/192 and have heard it back to back with the capitole mark I. The AA sounded more tubey, but in absolute terms I would call the equals. I myself slightly preferred the Enkthuisas, my friend who owns the AA greatly preferred the AA. On a different day I could probably choose the AA.

I have a tube CDP and a tubed DAC and I'd like to help. Specifically what do you want to know about tubed digital stuff. If you want product recommendations what kind of sound do you expect to hear and how much are you willing to pay. Give us a clue, maybe we can help.
