That's my all time favourite CDP. Well, that and the Tascam 601/701
As for modern CDPs with cd-Rom drives, from what I've heard, the only people who can get these to work properly for CD only replay is Meridian. Most of the 'audiophile' players out there these days seem to be like Bugattis with 4cylinder diesel engines under the bonnet. It's no wonder they're here today gone tomorrow.
Hi Kris,
Welcome to AoS!

We'll have a good chat later, when I've got more time. In the meantime, get stuck in (as you're doing) and enjoy!
