This is a great CD Player.
Made in China - Finished in USA.
Great VFM product.
Currently I have 2 new CD Players in my set up;
Cary CD 306 SACD Professional & the Meridian 808i.2
Both are about 2 & 1 month old respectively.
As most persons have oberved, the Cary is a nice machine. Very very high on resolution. I prefer the play back on 192 Khz.
The Bass is 'taught' & goes rather deep. The 'resolution' is right up there with the best I may have auditioned.
The CD Drawer is still not as good as I would have liked. My player runs 'hot' [more than luke warm].
Power Cable change does not affect the sound on this machine. Tried various cords from Jorma Design to Transparent PLMM and the sound does not change;;
I recommend an audition to all. This might just be the 'value buster' amongst the 'new' age CD Players of the world.
I did not find SACD to be better than CD !!
