GamuT CD 1 R inquiry

The Absolute Sound gives the GamuT Cd-1 an "Editor's Best Buy" status, with an impressive review. A primary issue with the player is that there is "a low frequency roll-off
audible in systems that extend below 40 hz."

I have heard posts to the contrary. Does anyone have an
opinion as to this player's ability, and in particular, it's low frequency capability?

The newer version, the CD-1R, is better-looking, in my opinion, with a faceplate available in silver color. Is
the player an improvement otherwise? How is Gamut's reliability and customer service? Thanks!

I placed an order for the CD1 and then it was delayed because of the demand and got the CD1R instead.

I was worried about the review but my NHT 3.3's which go down to ~23hz didn't miss a thing and it is an extremely musical player with excellent pace.

Yeah the Absolute sound pictures are ugly.. mine is all silver (no Gold) with a green display versus the red.. The only disappointing thing is that the remote sucks.. kinda like a Cal Labs remote.. you can't find play or track skip by feel... but it does have remote eject.. minor since I use a pronto instead.

I also considered 508.24, Wadia 301, 860, etc. Sony SACD 777
