I had the Jolida JD-100, sold it because I got an SACD player, the guy returned it because he said the digital out didn't work (it works fine), and now I'm keeping it because it kicks the SACD player's you-know-what on redbook. The Jolida is a surprisingly good player. I'm using it in a headphone system. I listen mostly to acoustic, but some rock too and it does great with all. I'm so happy it came back to me!
Review: Jolida JD-100 CD Player
Category: Digital
I got this player roughly 4 months ago. It replaced a Denon 3800/MSB Gold Link DAC combo I was using. The clarity and detail of this player is amazing. I use Silverline Audio Sonatina II speakers, and VeraStarr ultra reference interconnects, and speaker cable. I especially like Elton John, Madman across the water, and other acoustic/electric music. The soundstage is unbelievable. I compared it to a Rega Planet 2000 I bought, and liked how the Jolida was more open sounding, with slight better detail in the upper frequencies. I don't like when digital equipment gets too harsh sounding on the highs, and the Jolida is very lush and natural. Soundstage and image are most important to me.
The only "weakness" would be the stamped sheet metal chassis, and the plastic feet, and cd drawer...but hey...what do you expect for this price???
