I haven't heard these units, but someone on Audio Asylum said that the transport and DAC were pretty much the same as some of the Cal Audio seperates (they're made in the same Thai factory), and that's a good thing. I think they probably are a pretty good player. They also give you the benefit of tube rolling to customize the sound to your liking. I was thinking about buying one myself, but decided to go with the EVS dac so I could play both DVDs and CDs thru it.
nOrh CD-1 Anyone using this unit?
I've read the review on TNT on the CD-l and it seems to offer a lot for the buck $799US. The Heart 5000 & 6000 modified Marantz units look interesting too. The Tjoeb 4000 also offers tubes on the cheap. Anyone tried any of the above? I don't expect the moon from these players, just a great deal of fun.....any thoughts? Thanks, Bluenose
