Who has heard the Blue note Stibbert cd player ?

Many thanks for the information regarding the digital inputs - much appreciated. I suspected as much since none of the descriptions of this player had digital inputs in its specifications.

There are no digital inputs on my Stibbert, but I also have the version without front panel buttons. There seem to have been a number of rivisions. Stil, I don't think digital inputs are a feature on the Stibbert.

Please do keep us posted on the comparison with the modified Esoteric DV-50.

Does the Stibbert Tubed MK II have digital inputs? Specifically, does it support a Toslink input? I ask since my next CD player needs to support this since I would like it to handle music I stream to it via Apple Airport Express from my computer.

Many thanks in advance for your help and advise.

All the best,
Neville

I have bought the Stibbert Tubed MK II, mainly as an experiment because I could get it for a good price and needed something that would play music while I wait to get my Esoteric DV-50 modified.

All I can say that the Stibbert leaves nothing to be desired. Beautiful music making machine. I am kind of scared a bit at the moment that I might not be able to sell it when the DV-50 comes back and end up using the Stibbert for CD, the DV-50 for SACD and DVD-A.

I should know how the comparison on redbook works out in 2 weeks or so...

Tried the Koala and liked it so I ended up getting the new Stibbert with my wifes help for xmas.This player is outstanding and I have had a few since the little silver disc's came out!Yea,I'm old enough to be into audio before cd's:))Bob
