Cary 306 SACD Professional

Has any one had an opportunity to listen or demo the new player from Cary and compare it to the competition?

I have not heard the new Pro model , but I picked up the last version now being discounted, the 306 SACD and the sound quality is awesome!

I'm waiting to hear back from him..... His previous CDP was the Gryphon Adagio, which I've heard several times - simply a superb/fantastic CDP!! I wonder how the 306 Pro will compare/contrast to the Adagio??

Bass, dynamics and ambience all improved over the 306-SACD. It is superbly musical too. It will need a good 300-400 hours to break in. Have not had a chance to compare it to other players, only have other Cary models here. I'll post more in upcoming weeks.
