Serious question. Are Aphiles still buying $15,000 CD players or CD players in general?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We all know the truth now, the cd format players/sales are a <<thing of the past>>>
The DAC thingy/streamer deal has steered consumers away from the higher end cd players.
Of course we know Jadis still has super high end cdp/DAC's at $$$$$. PL makes a nice tube player/DAC.
Not sure what sales numbers are like for ither lab's units.
Shanling now offers a 3.2 player./Cayin offers a new Mark2.
I am near making a shootout twix my Cayin cd17 Mark1 /upgraded vs the Shanling cd3000 upgraded.
maybe next month.
I am very happy with the Cayin upgraded and look forward to hearing how the Shanling performs with its Mundorf/Sparkos-labs ops..
This will give me 2 <<world class>> cd players.
I think Luxman needs to reconsider the price offering.
With the economy as it is, folks are on a budget.
