A precision tool for the job, steps up even with a far more expensive Dac.
Anyone looking for a CD transport should seriously look at one of these, even if your budget is many times higher than the £379 it costs.
Like Martins comparison, it bettered my Oppo as well, and that’s been taken very far from stock.
Solid build, some heft to it too.
not much going on inside which is interesting?

Lol... Yeah, I know. However, a) I know it would, and b) that combination is now likely to seriously compete with your 'adequate' standalone players when they're fixed!;)

In the meantime, enjoy!

Indeed... Looks like a whole load of potential modding fun there, though!:eek:;)Quote:
