Jolida JD 100 or Njoe Tjoeb 4000, which one?


I want to match one of these with a Cary SLI 80 integrated tube amp and Paradigm studio 100 speakers. Any opinions?

I might as well chime in on this one, seeing as how you are seriously being ignored by the rest of the Goners.

I have never heard the Njoe Tjoeb, but I did recently buy a stock Jolida JD 100. I damped the inside with Dynamat, put in some Electro Harmonix tubes, and added a Sonoran power cord. After a couple hundred hours of break in and these minor tweaks, this may be the best digital I have heard in my system. For a point of comparison it replaced a Theta Data Basic II and Audionote DAC 1.1, not world class components, but no slouches they. I really want to get it over to my buddy's house to compare it to his BAT cdp.

But anyway, it's a great player in my book.

Go to any decent specialty car audio shop to find Dynamat, or something like it. It is typically used to line trunks and door panels.

BTW, I HATE the way the Agon forum doesn't allow you to directly answer a particular post. Just line them up chronologically. Makes for a very confusing read sometimes.

Yes, that is correct. I did only the lid. That seemed to give it much more structural integrity, a dull thump when you whack on the player at any angle.
