Comments on Audio Note CD Players


Any comments on the Audio Notes CD players? They seem to be an underdog. How would, say, the 3.1x compare to the Electrocompaniet EMC-1 CD player or the like? Non-digital, non-fatiguing sound is very important. How would the Audio Note mate with a tubed preamp and hybrid amp? Thanks!

Thanks for all of the helpful comments. I'm also curious about the Audio Note DACs, but there seem to be so many variations on the theme. Are there any web sites that outline all of them and compares them?
Call a dealer to get the info. Try joe at JC audio. He has alot of experience with all levels even up to the looney tunes priced Dac 5.
I have been recommended Audio Note CD player Model 3.1 ..
I can,t find information or review ... can some one help
Thanks

I have owned the 3.1x and the 2.1x (my cdp now) and think the 2.1x is the best I have ever owned and I have owned
a lot.
Just cannot place my finger on why I think it is better
than the 3.1 but it just seems to be lighter on it's feet!
Very easy to listen to all the time, open & airy and
just plain musical.
