Yagin: does anybody have any thoughts on Yagin? Never herd of them?

Is Yaqin any good ? Thinking about buying a CD player made by them? Thanks !

In the end why buy a CD player at all why not take this time in your audio growth to go spinner 'less and get something like a Bluesound vault 2i. this would eliminate the need for a CD player by storing all your CD's digitally and playing from the internal hard drive and open up streaming via the internet connection. Its the way of the future so may as well embrace it now that your at a cross roads.

The second day I had it, it caught fire. If I had not been in the room at the time, I could have lost my house. It was very cheaply made, the output transformers were covered with big impressive covers, but underneath, the transformer was so tiny and no more than a 5 dollar part. Many sharp edges around where the tubes went. Cut my fingers installing the signal tubes.. I paid around 400 + shipping direct from China. Threw it out instead of sending it back. The best part, my home insurance was a 500.00 deductible. Couldn't even claim it. They may be better now but you wouldn't see me near one.

I've heard the CD player and seen a few as well and it gets pretty solid feedback as well. I'm not endorsing them but I haven't heard complaints about them.
