Has anybody heard the new RAYSONIC CD 138?

I see the replacement for the Raysonic cd 128 is now available. One of my favorites in the long list of players I have had. The new CD 138 seems to have a different transport, a little better DAC tand a slide cover instead of the disc. Just curious if anyone has heard one.

I have heard some of the other tube players recently and still prefer the cd 128.

Very surprised at the amount of press for the original 128
and hardly a word about the 138.

May take time.

Good point..........Just curious if anyone has heard one.
I believe they changed transport companies.

Just surprised because I do believe the original 128 is
pretty darn reliable.

Just to add.........it appears the tube output is for the RCA's only and the XLR output is solid state. A dealer informed me of this. I wondered why there were only two tubes. Curious if anyone else heard this.

Through my experience with cd players and quite a few
cd player transactions on this site, I think they REALLY
should have made it so the balanced portion ran
through the tube section. I know people argue the difference between balanced and unbalanced, but I do find them to be "quiter".
