The Classe CDP 102 is one of the best redbook cd players for the money. The CDP 102 is very musical, almost analogue. The high are extended and not bright. The low end is well exxtened. The Classe and the Ayre 5e were the only models that made feel the extra expense was better than my old Arcam Alpha 9. I chose the CDP 102 because the Ayre was not $1500 better.
