Bertrand

Simple design but exudes quality!! After burn-in it delivers superb sound on good-quality recordings; it does not forgive average recordings and doesn’t sugarcoat them. Practical and basic, it does the essential: playing CDs, with no noise and no frills, but with a certain fullness across the different ranges. Why pay more? Very happy with this CD player connected to an ATOLL IN 200 Signature and HIGHLAND ORAN 4305.

esthétique simple mais respirant la qualité !! après rodage il ressort un son superbe sur des enregistrements de qualités; ne pardonne pas les prises de son moyennes et ne les enjolive pas. pratique et basique il sert l’essentiel : la lecture de cd, sans bruit sans fioritures mais avec une certaine plénitude dans les différents registres. pourquoi payer plus ? très content de ce lecteur cd branché sur ATOLL IN 200 signature et HIGHLAND ORAN 4305.

Excellent CD player, good construction and even better sound. Worth highlighting is the balanced output, hard to find at this price point. I would have liked the headphone output to be 6.4 instead of 3.2. You have to use an adapter. Otherwise everything is perfect.
