I have heard both and my friend brought the CD-1. They are musical sounding and have good tonality. I actually thought the ever slight sweet tone is absent with Sim's older but more expensive components I have heard in the past.
While some components at this price level strike me as thin barned, instruments and vocals played through the combo have the right amount of body and texture, albeit a little less lively than what I would like. I feel the CD-1 is the better buy of the two.
