Upgrade cdp

I am thinking of upgrading from my Nad 542 C. The rest of my system is Forte Model 6 amp, Anthem Pre 1 preamp and Infinity recapped RSIIs. I am thinking about either a Jolida JD-100 or a Cambridge 840. Anyone have any experience with both or either of these units? I listen to jazz, blues, JT, "the Boss", Mark Knopfler, etc.

Any input is appreciated
Thanks, MBeigh

The JAS Audio Musik 1.2, with a tube output stage and rectifier, is a nice upgrade from the NAD if you can find it. Mind you I'm talking about the NAD 541 which I have as well, so if the 542 is a mile and a half better than that, I didn't say anything.

BTW I have heard the 840C and while it was certainly a step up from my NAD 541 -- a big step -- in terms of resolution, I was not thrilled with its sound, which I thought analytical and hyper-detailed. YMMV and so might mine if I had spent a bit more time with it; my point is that your own sonic preference should be your guide here.
