I'd go with the known entity the SMC. As for Audiolabyrinth's suggestion on a Vincent I never had heard of the brand until he had told me about the CD-S7 and after talking to the importer it was discontinued b/c it was not a good seller (to me meaning no one liked it). I have listened extensively to an Ayon CD-2S and all I can tell you is it was fantastic! Almost bought one myself it was that good.
Stick with the SMC you can not go wrong.
