Yes it is. The 3.1x is newer than the CD3 as well. I have heard both and they are substantially different. Not sure which is better as it all becomes issues of likes and flavors.

I said it compares to other players I have heard recently (Rega, Metronome, Audio Aero, Gamut, Jolida, and a few DACs as well - EVS and Dodson).
But I would say that based on what I have read about the Carin, I MAY like the Audio Note better. Which does not mean it is better (nor does it mean it is better - for you - than those listed above), but that it "better" fits my tastes and system.
I should mention that I am a reviewer (for what ever that is worth).

so you compare audio note to cairn and you think that audio note is a better sounding player?
it is 1x oversampling, 18bit/96kHz, with no digital output filtering. Go figure. I currently use an EVS II and this is just as good, though different.
Not as full, nor as warm, but much more dynamic and detailed.
I have one here for review and at $1500 retail, compares to (and some cases is WAY better than) players I and others have heard costing 2 to 3 times as much.
An amazing player!
