Thanks for the compliments John. Compliments? 
Raysonic 168
Mrtennis,You deliberately called another dealer (me) to inquire about this product when you had no intentions on working with me on the purchase. You did not let me know you already had the unit and continued to talk as if you were an interested b...

Mrtennis,I am not 100% sure but I think we spoke on the phone regarding the Raysonic CD players numerous times. I apologize if this is not you, but I think it is and everything is lining up here (you called me twice about your obscure sound prefer...

The CD168 uses not one, but two BB DACs in balanced configuration. The DACs are also different than the CD128. The CD128 uses one 1738 DAC chip whereas the CD168 uses two 1792s.

The MKII is oldest version before some minor revisions to the transport and tubes. The Reference is the new name for the latest version with all the goodies. The MK II SE is the same mechanically as the new reference, just old cosmetics, but sonic... 
Balanced usage with Opus 21
If running direct to an amp it is far better to use the XLRs simply because of the higher voltage output. The difference between the RCA and XLR is more dynamic, and easier drive. 
Full range speakers with small footprint?
