I have a bunch of Emotiva gear for my home theater system. Running counter to the "more for less" Emotiva system I also run a Manley Stingray with Merlin TSM-MXr speakers and Aero Prima CD player.
First, a small disclaimer: I am among many audiophiles who believe that differences between good CD players are VERY small.
So, in trying the ERC-1 I was very pleased with it's sound, which was detailed and lively with plenty of space around instruments...a small improvment over my modded Oppo CD player and about on par with the Rega Apollo I had tried. All had a somewhat leaner sound compared to the Prima or my old Jolida. Build quality puts some "high end" products to shame.
In short...after a second audition...it's a bargain of a good player.
