Best one-box CD player with USB input

Exlibris,
check out Audionet Art G2 - might be exactly what you're looking for.

Karelfd,
Which of the operation modes do you prefer to use:
• Direct Master I; no digital or analogue filter
• Direct Master II; no digital filter, anti-sin(x)/(x) analogue filter
• Oversampling 2X
• Oversampling 4X
• Upsampling 96KHz
• Upsampling 192KHz

Abetz,
I'd like to hear the Audionet but the AMR's 'no digital or analogue filter' option and tube output has me leaning in that direction. I'm biased by my experience with the Zanden DAC.
Thanks.

I chose Direct Master II as default setting, pretty soon actually, it appeared just that decisive bit firmer than Master I that most of my auditioning was done with (probably also a question of overall system character). Depending on the kind of music and - even more imo - the quality of the recording, the filter modes are an interesting field for experiment, but I rarely use the other options these days. Looks like the Direct options play an important role in achieving the "analog" character that is so dear to many CD-77 users, but then again, sometimes it's fun to inject some "crispiness" with the upsampling mode. These other modes are by no means a digital travesty, but with your taste for Zanden, I suspect your default would likely be one of the Direct Masters as well.
