I would like to give my vote to the Arcam FMJ-CD23. Great,Great sounding machine. And pleasant to look at. I agree with Yeast, the Brits get digital right. I had the chance to listen to my friends Meridian and was looking for one used when I came across an Arcam dealer in my area and was able to audition one in my home.Just like the reviewer in Stereophile , I bought the review model. The dealer made the new unit more of a frelling bargain by selling it to me at demo price. It's a perfact match for my Lev.#383. That was how it was set up at the dealer. Now I'm not saying the Arcam is better than the Lev.#39 or the Meridian, but with the dCS ring DAC on board and the new chassis,mother board, and added power supply it is a beautiful player. I found NO need to spend the extra money. Peace and good listening.
