I did a search here for info and did not find anything. Any comments on this cd player? It runs around $695 which puts it in the area of the Eastsound E5. I can get this player locally though and it has a warranty.

Check out the northampton store for a discount. The black looks pretty.

Eh, it's not bad but not anything breaking down any barriers. It looks great and the fit and finish is excellent but sound wise I thought it was good but not stellar. I owned one for a couple years some time back. It's certainly a nice step out of anything mass market of course but considering the really good DAC's you can find now for that price or cheaper and the advancement of may CD players, it's not really anything making waves these days. It's fairly old as far as the design.

So am I better off looking at a NAD C542 or Rotel 1072? I am thinking yes.

I would still keep the AR in mind. Check them all out if you can. Maybe you could home audition them? the build quality of the AR is definitely higher than the Rotel or NAD but sound wise it will be right with them too (maybe better, who knows).

You are better off with a Rotel 971, or get a real YBA instead.
