Lector CDP 7 Mk I, II or III ?

I plan to part with my second system Ayre gear to refinance a purchase for the main system and am considering to retain only the Yamamoto headphones with another good cdp. And so I came accross Lector, unknown on the local market and thus even more interesting.

Now, I did a search on Agon and found several people specifically advising the CDP 7 Mk I, clearly prefering it over the later versions.

Is the original Lector CDP 7 sonically better? Any specific reason for that?

Thanks in advance

Hi Larryken, thanks for your words of warning, I'd probably go through the Dutch distributor/dealer, but then of course I'd be restricted to Mk III, hence my question

... sadly also rather more expensive. This is a second system and I'm working on a budget, I'm afraid. Nevertheless, thanks for the information.

Much obliged, thank you very much!

I'm located in Germany, otherwise I would probably have jumped on the Agon offer. By the way, contrary to what I said before I found out Lector is distributed in Germany after all. Price for the Mk III over here is just over EUR 3k, more than I wanted to spend for the second system so I'll be monitoring the market. (Meanwhile, I've seen a "young" YBA Classic Sigma 3 = same as the Passion CD 400 on offer in France, aah, choices, choices, is this hobby some exotic form of masochism?)
