the bat vk d5 was upgraded a while ago. i own one.
i also owned the cary player.
notice, i said owned the cary. i sold the cary because it did not respons to changes in tubes and did not sound like there was a tube in it.
the bat player has the same problem. it sounds like solid state.
in contrast, my audionote cd2 sounds like there is a tube in it. it has a "tube" sound. the other players have a solid state sound.
i made a mistake buying the bat because i did not audition it before buying it.
