Jolida JD100...giant killer or all hype?

Ok guys, I am going to make an hour drive friday night to pick up one of these at my local dealer. Having read all the feedback here and at AA, it sounds as though this is THE cdp to own under 2K. Seeing as how vinyl is my primary software of choice, I am not looking for the digital holy grail. Just something that will better my soon to be gone Theta Data Basic II/Audionote DAC 1.1 combo. Any thoughts?

I am running the JD-100A w/ the level 2 modification from parts connexion(via Underwood)using a Cary SlI-80 integrated amp. The Jolida benefited greatly by changing to the Sylvania AX7 tubes (1966 vintage). Very impressive for the $ and compares with best I've heard on any system.

After a week of 24/7 burn in the Jolida is sounding very nice indeed. I listened exclusively to seedees yesterday for several hours. That is no small feat for me. It's usually an appetizer of a disc or two before moving on to vinyl. For digital, the JD 100 sounds pretty darn good.

Ozzy62, I am interested in purchasing one of these. Where did you purchase it? Price? Is it a stock or modded version? Thanks.
