It is an outstanding value for the money. Also it is not the same as the X-ray. The guts are the same but the larger frame/box results in less internal electronic interference and cleaner sound. It also does possess a good musicality. Not soft or lush but open clean and musical. I compared it with Proceed cdp, and rega planet. It was much better than both in my system. Amps icluded Conrad cj 11a, A.R. VT 100 II, Music Fidelity A3cr (which is one heck of an amp at $$$)
using A.R. LS 15 preamp, cotour 1.8 speakers and Mission 750 le speakers.
