Cayin CDT 15A Tube CD Player. Advice Needed

I finally decided to take the plunge in getting a new CD player!!

Cayin CDT 15A Tube CD Player.
- With a free 120V converter for 120V power supply. Select 'Air Shipping from China' - shipping method.

HDCD decoder and D/A converter
Separated tube output and solid-state output
Two Russian 6922 functional tubes
Coaxial and fiber-optic digital output
PHILIPS CDM1210 and CD7 servo
Digital filtering with PCM1732 and Audio OPA2604
Luxury aluminum remote control

Out the door price of $775 from NY Sound

Any disadvantages with using a power converter?

Can I do better (same model or with a different model) at that price or LOWER?

Oh, if it matters, my current system is a set of Martin Logan ReQuest and a PrimaLuna Prologue One tube integrated (similar to the Cayin TA-30).

I suggest you buy the Cayin CDT 17A, it is much better.

I posted a short review of the Cayin 15 vs the 17, as I have both.
agree with Audiosu. The 17 gives more complexity to the music, though as I said in my review, the 15 is a very good unit.

My next move is to get 4 upgrade tubes , Siemens. Might even make more of an improvement over the 4 russian tubes.
For a $100, its worth the chance.

Thanks for the info guys. But what I eventually ended up doing (2 weeks ago) was purchasing a black Jolida JD-100 CDP.
