Opinion between MacIntosh CD Player and others?



Is there any significant difference between a Mcintosh CD Players and other brands?
I love MacIntosh and have a Pre. and an Amp. but I do not have any idea of the main difference that may exist between the rest of the CD players in the market. I have never heard a MacIntosh CD player.
Thanks very much!

I had a MCD 201 in my room for a few hours. I found it to be fatiguing after about an hour or so, and quite uninvolving. It played loudly, but not lively. It was plugged directly into my MC7200 amp via balanced Cardas Cross ic's.

I purchased a Cary 303-300 instead and run it directly into the MC7200. The sound is phenomenal. Warm, detailed, dynamic, lively, involving. I could go on.

I suggest borrowing a Mac cdp before purchasing. Listen to a Cary 303-200 or 300 while you are at it. You might be pleasantly surprised.
