The Audio Note one box players are excellent. I have listend to them extensively. Rogue and Meadowlark use a CD 2 at the shows. I prefer the DC 3.1 over many players. It is quite, musical, detailed, fast, etc. You can listen to it for hours.
The CD 2.1 is quiter and more detailed than the comparable priced Arcams. The Arcam CD 82T may be a close competitor, but I would still go with the Audio Note, unless you want the upgrade options from Arcam. It is more musical than the Rega and not as "polite" or laid back. The Musical Fidelity sounds dark compared to it.
