cdp's you had glitches with

Newbee point being that there are coverups going on in the digital players. Some are having issues and not reporting them. I witnessed the cary 303 with problems. i'm only reporting, folks can buy whatever they want. I'm just makinga place where folks can voice their bad experiences. If my Cayin's have glitches, I;'ll make it a point to report. Lets be open minded, certain cdp's have glitches. There are certain amps that also have glitches, but thats a whole nuther wasp nest. I won;t mention any names, I can see this topic already has flack. Its cdp's thats my main concern. cary did come through for my friend, but its no simple matter returning a unit 2 or 3 X's in the first 6 mons of ownership.

True, some chinese tube players are cheaply made. MHZS seems to be a fair value at $600. Where in this world are you going to get a tube cdp for $600? cary starts theirs at $3K. Is the Cary 5 X's better? I seriously doubt it.
If the Cary breaks you have warrenty and is hassle free for the 1st yr, after that I'm not sure. If(god forbid) the chinese tube player braeks after one or 2 yrs, you throw it away and buy another. Both my Cayin have been glitch free going 2+ yrs now. The tech guy who changed the opamps onboth said both players were finely built. But agree the 2 chinese players have cut corners to offer the low price. But for $200 the opamps can be cahnged and bring the player up to players costing 2X's more.
