Shanling CDT100 vs T200 for red book CD's???


I've decided to buy a Shanling CDT100 or T200 but don't know which one to get. I will be listening to almost 100% red book CD's. I don't care at all about HDCD but wouldn't mind having the SACD option. But it wouldn't stop me from the 100 if it did a better job with plain old CD's...

I've heard the T200 has better parts then the 100. Which I guess makes sense considering it's $700- more.

What about the upsampling? T100 has is, T200 doesn't. Does it make a difference?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

AND, I can't afford and don't want the mod'd upgraded one. I don't mind changing some tubes (WE 396a's seam to be recommended) and the power cord, but that's it. What I buy is what I get. Done.

Thanks.

I've heard both at length and prefer the CDT-100 for red book and it's also less expensive (primarily due to no SACD support). The upsampling is a nice addition and does improve redbook, HDCD's sound great! I bought the 100, no regrets
