Who still listens to their First Generation Cd Players?


I still like the sound of those early cd players except early problematic sonys

@nonoise, the CD-80 was built like a tank, wasn’t it? Made everything else seem like a toy. That is, until I got an Esoteric ;-).
@niodari never heard of Raymio before. How good is the analog sound of this particular Dac

Just picked up a Pioneer pd-4050 at a local garage sale.
Very very clean and obviously well looked after. 1987 vintage.
Hooked it up via single ended rca as this only option and it sounds pretty darn good for $20!.
Very detailed and solid, nice presentation all round, definitely not edgy or harsh, except with cds recorded that way of course!
I think its a keeper
Had a Onkyo top of the line and it died...had it for like 8 years ,I couldn't get it repaired...
