Eastern Electric Minimax CD vs Jolida 100


Has anyone compared the sound of these 2 players?

Minimax - 6922 tubes, Burr-Brown 1732 DAC
Jolida - 12AX7A tubes, Burr-Brown DAC

They are priced similar at around $900. Which did you prefer and why?

Thanks

Mike

I must respectfully disagree. I have the EE Minimax and LOVE it. So far I have tried the stock tubes, JJ Tesla, and I have Amperex orange globes on the way. The JJs sound completely different in the Minimax than the stock. Much warmer and more analog like without question. Not a bad tube at all for the money. So I have found the Minimax to be sensitive to tube rolling so far.. and am loving the experience.
