old cdp that hangs with new ones

coffeey, does your unit have a remote? have you ever heard nad cdp? i think it would be worth the money if i can find one. do you have any idea which older mag units have this specific chip? cheers
i can give you my own old cdp vs new evaluation. i have a nad c541 and i have a vintage nad 5240 cdp they both sound exactly the same. i did back to back tests and i cant tell them apart. surely nad would have better stuff today than 20 yrs ago. the only reason im keeping the 541 is that it has a remote. if the old one did i would keep it. the 5240 has fixed and variable analog outputs which may be usefull in ways. ive been wanting to get a older magnavox but they are tough to finds.
