I owned the Classe CDP .3 and was less than impressed. I had a hard time getting rid of it as well. The CDP 10 is an awesome player. If you are sticking to the budget of the .3, you really should give a listen to the Rotel RCD 1072. It is incredible for the money, I think. I had a Musical Fidelity A3 that took out the Classe .3 without much trouble, and the Rotel is quite a bit better than the Musical Fidelity. (IMO of course)
