Just wondering if anyone has seen/heard one of these. Looks great.

Operaudio.com's website lists a review in a french magazine "IN Revue Du Son & Du HomeCinema - No.294 - 3/2005" but unfortunately, my french is not good enough.

anyone care to translate?

Where Srajan praises the cdp highly. I'd also be interested in finding out if anyone here has any personal impressions? Speak up, now

It was qualified as "the first affordable high-end CD player" by the very serious french "Revue du Son" magazine and got their highest award.

Should be a good product

I can only add hearsay: the person who sold me his cd player (who is a very experienced & trustworthy buyer/seller of audio gear) bought one of these. He loves it. Says it's detailed, but punchy with deep, articulate bass. He really likes it a lot, but this post has to be strongly qualified: I have not heard it myself.

I think its very affordable for its quality. I'm looking into buying one of the lower ends me self. Its priced for USD 2105 new here. The lower end model is
USD 1131.

I own one and it is as good as it gets in its price range. (and even above) Powerful, smooth, and very detailed. Great midrange from the tubes but lots of treble and bass extention. Looks to die for. Built like a tank. 50 plus lbs of music making machine. If it only did SACD it would not leave my home. Mines for sale because I want either the Cary, or the new Audio Aero Prestige for there SACD playback. If I did keep mine it would go into a second system directly into an amp and I would use the variable volume control on the CDP.
Anyway, I can recommend this player as very good. Give one a listen if you get a chance. I'll bet you will like what you hear.
