Xindak SCD-2 Tube SACD player advice.


I searched Audiogon and AA and only found a couple of people who own this CD player. If you own one can you check in and post your thoughts, likes/dislikes, any problems with this unit. I'm thinking about buying one but there is not a lot of background.

Thanks,
Mike

I just bought a Xindak SCD-2 also, and love it. I only paid $800 (includes $ mods) for a brand new unit with a M-cap Oil/Silver coupling cap upgrade (www.coemaudio.com) I replaced the stock feet with Vibrapods, Converted it to 110v AC, lined the inside of the chassis cover with dampening material, and lastly I replaced the tubes with some NOS Tesla's. The sound I am getting is angelic. I sit and laugh when I listen to my system because I know that there are poor brainwashed slobs out there that have paid thousands more to get near the sound I am getting. I would also put my Xindak SCD-2 up against ANY other stock player in the $4K-5K range without hesitation.
NOTE: The initial units did have a firmware issue that has since been cleared up. All SCD-1/2's coming out of the factory have new firmware...My unit tracks flawlessly...

Thanks Xindak, for proving that paying out the A$$ is not a prerequisite for quality...
