I have owned a cd1 for about 9 months. It is a solid nice sounding player. Smooth and natural output. Sounds best using balanced outputs. The dac inside is nearly as good as the dac3. I run mine into a dac3 and have compared and can't really tell the difference. The remote is ok but range is a bit narrow. Reads discs great. There were only 100 made til they switched to the e one narrow format. That's why there is no info. Blows away the cd2.
