Audio Aero Prima or Consonance REF 2.2 cd player.

I was ready to purchase a prima cd player several months ago, until my finances prevented me to do. In the mean time I was searching for a used player to get my by until I could purchase a new player. I found a used Resolution Audio CD-50 very reasonable. I am at the point where I can purchase new. So not sure exactly what to do. Took me sometime to find the cd-50. I have been reading some very good things about the CONSONANCE REF 2.2 player. I haven't had a chance to listen to any of these players.
I listen to rock and roll and usually very loud. My system consists of a Hafler XL-600 amp, AR SP9MKII preamp and a pair of klipsch KLF30's. I like the system for what it is.
I am curious if anyone has had a chance to listen to either the Prima or the REF2.2, maybe compare the two, if so, could I get an opinion? I have waited so long to make a purchase. I want to make sure I buy the better of the two.
Thanks to all that reply in advance!

Can't help over-reading raving reviews on this "Audio Aero Prima 24/192 CD player" from goners. BUT HOW does one go about
auditioning this beaut..? I live in northern CA.

So far MN is the only listed U.S. Aero distributor.. Am I out of luck on this one? I am considering upgrading my cdp but still debating on how to go about it.. CDT/DAC versus CDP with tube outs.

It's always been my way to locally audition before I decide on any piece of audio... (backed by testimonials from asylums and reviews)of course.

Unclejeff,

Thanks for your info.. I already spoke with Kevin of Audio Vision in SF(Van Ness And Pine st.). He has the Aero Prima 24/192 in stock. I'll probably audition this weekend.

Just one question. I heard there is the Prima and the Prima 24/192. If this is so how does one distinguish between the 2?

Thank you again.
