What's better than the Jolida JD100


I heard the Jolida JD100 completely stock and like many others, was very impressed. Associated gear was Classe amp/pre and Magnepan 1.5's.
So the question is....what's as good or better than the Jolida for about a grand or even 1200-1300 bucks? Not looking for USED gear, folks!

Thanks!

I owned the JD 100 for long enough to know it does not sound all that great until you fit the almost non-existent Sylvania 5751 black gates into them. That change really lifts the CD player up into a higher playing field.

That said, unless Jolida has improved their JD 100 clocking, it must still sound like it's not on sound footing.

Right now, I am using a transport and an Audio Note DAC. This combo is only one of the superior sounding sources out there.
