I've listened to the McCormack at a dealer (using both Classe and Krell amps/pre). I'd originally gone to the dealer looking to upgrade my Classe CDP to a Cary 303-200. While I was listening to the Cary CDP the dealer dropped the McCormack on top of the Cary connected the wires to a another input and left the room.
This dealer had always told me I was better to get a dedicated CD only player and DVD player. After demoing for an hour (CDs only) I'm not sure that I like the McCormack better than the Cary303-200 but it was close enough.
The thought of upgrading my CDP to a $3000+ CD-only player is now gone with the McCormark UDP at $2995(dealer price). Although I didn't take the plung, for the first time I felt that CD-only players are not in my future...
