What is the flavor of the year now ?

i went a little extreme on my sarcasm musetap, i also do not think the jolida is a piece of crap, quite the contrary, i have 2 friends that own them, and i agree with everyone who has posted comments about it's addictive sound, it's just gets irritating to me sometimes to read about pieces of equipment, that at one time was all the rage, and deservedly so, but now it seems the majority of posts are commenting about it being just an average or less. maybe it's just a part of the endless search for sonic perfection, who knows.

Maybe not yet on Audiogon, but the Eastsound CD-E5 is getting alot of attention. So much so I had to buy one for myself. Don't spend $1000.00's on other players. This $750.00 cd-player is amazing. I know it is an import and a warranty repair would cost some money, but you must hear what this player can do! I have had cd-players and transport/DAC combos that cost up to $4,000.00. This player is better. It has been favorably compared to $10,000.00 players.

interesting, i'll have to check the eastsound out, thanks for the advice.

The Cary CD-306 SACD player with 4 independant transformers on-the-fly switchable upsampling for 6K can compare with the best.
