I heard the JD-100, in home, with a handful of tubes, at the same time I had the SA-14 and a Musical Fidelity A3 24 dac and a Theta transport on hand. The Jolida came in last place. It's killer for $600, but more money, in this case, brought what I thought clearly better sound, and the wonders of SACD from the Marantz made me a believer, it's really something special in that regard, and it's also by far a better built machine....
