I own a CL-20 and am very satisfied with it. The DVD playback is detailed and extremely vivid. The CD playback is so clear and detailed but laid back and not in your face. With digital outputs using XLR, RCA or TOSLink the player can be used as a transport or simply a cd player. Depending on my mood will determine if I use my external AR DAC5 or just play the Cal and to be quite honest they both sound fantastic. The CL 20 is built like a TANK and the money I payed for it was well worth it.
Hope this helps
