Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?

Re Marantz  repeating a disc but mostly on mute, I listened Wednesday morning and afternoon to a few familiar discs and it was ok, but I was hearing much deeper into the venue/recording, though bass had not yet hown up. Yesterday afternoon I popped a burn in disc (on mute) then last night I played Alison Kraus' New Favorites, and was startled how much better it sounds vs the Pioneer: better depth, imaging and speed. The banjo blew me away

Used ones are out there at $450, and new ones areonly  $600

Again, I am using it as a transport via toslink, though I will try coax once I get a proper cable

I will start a nw thread about the HD CD 1 which, SO FAR, seems a real bargain    

Bluegrass!  Put on Ralph Stanley, he will burn it in!

Have you tried the headphone amp? Marantz says it is pretty special

not into headhones
