california audio labs aria mk3 - opinions?


I have a chnace to get one locally. Does anyone own one of these? Any opinions?

Any opinion on how this one would compare to an AH/Tjoeb 4000?

Many thanks in advance for any insight.

I heard one a few years ago and thought it sounded OK but somewhat dark and closed-in. I definitely preferred my CAL Alpha DAC, as well as other budget CD players of the time such as the Music Hall CD-25 and one of the Denon's (I don't remember which model).
