I have the cal cl-15 for about eight months.In my case using an aftermarket powercord made a big improvement,interconnects are also very important.I also tried to use the cal as a dac only using a lowend Pioneer cd recorder and Audio Alchemy dti jitter reducer to feed its coaxial input,and it actually sounded cleaner to my ears,a dedicated transport would probably sound even better.Try using the Cal as a dac and tell us what you think,and this dac has remote controlled digital volume which is not a common feature,so you can hook it up directly to a power amp.
Another options is to change the player´s clock for jitter reduction.I wonder if anyone has tried it on this player as it seems a very popular upgrade with other cd players
e.g. LC AUDIO and TRICHORD make these kind of high precision clocks to improve any player.I am thinking of trying this myself
Just my 2 cents
