Best Redbook player with XLR outs

I failed to mention on my comments above regarding the GamuT, I use Cardas XLR RCA adapters to connect it to my deHavilland Mercury preamp, but still get the advantage of the amp used for the XLR output. I previously used the Pass X2.5 peamp totally balanced as is the GamuT which was an excellent combination.

I also recommend the GamuT CD1R. I have enjoyed it for about 18 months. It seems to very accurately read and transmit the recordings. There is no digital grunge. The best recordings sound wonderful. As my other equipment gets better ie new deHavilland Mercury preamp, the music just gets more analog and realistic sounding. The GamuT is very refined and musical. It makes most red book CDs sound superb. I have no desire to replace it. The JVC XRCDs sound like a good vinyl reproduction. The XLR output has a different amp then the RCA output and is more open with better resolution on complex orhestration.
