Audia Flight CD One

I've heard this Italian cd player when I was in Hong Kong. I liked it a lot and almost bought one. I ended up buying a Metronome CD-2V signature instead.

To give some perspective, here are the CD players I liked when I was in the market for one: Audia Flight One, Metronome CD-2V, Meridian G09, Lindemann 820, Goldmund SRDVD, and the Audio Aero Prima.

The G09 is a typo. I meant Meridian G08.

Usa, I thought the build quality of the Audia Flight was top notch. It was built like a tank.

Which other CD players did you audition before choosing the AF CD1?
