I have a EAD cd 1000, and love it. I've upgraded all other components, and it still impresses me. My neighbor even bought one. I have it hooked up to Sim Audio Moon equipment with Proac 1ses. My system blows most others away. I haven't heard better in any stores, and I have done a lot of listening. You can find one used for about $1000+ range. Bye the way, it is a HDCD and one of the Canadian magazines (Inner Ear or UHF) gave it a best component rating back when it was new. I have not seen a better jitter rating on any other player, and EAD has a fantastic reputation for building the best DAC's. Stereophile has listed their DACs,s many times in their awards class.
Help! Upgrading CDP in the $1500-$3500 range!
Please give recommendations on CDP and Transports in the $1.5-3.5m. range. Would like to hear about comparisions of EAD Ultadisc 2000, SFT-1 and SFCD-1, CAL CL-15, Theta. Especially on the EAD? Any listening experiences conveyed are appreciated! Big decision!
