Music Hall CD25.3 CD Player
I’ve read plenty of review about the Emotiva failing too. Transports and electronics don’t seem as robust as in the past.  
Music Hall CD25.3 CD Player
Could be. I read that Music Hall players are actually his own design manufactured by Shanling, and not a rebadged unit.  
where and how to find blank "music" CD's

I'm curious about the Schiit Audio Modi 3e
All Schiit said was the 3e is their first DAC w/ USB-C and that the Modi+ was their best version, but nothing more. On another forum a member said the 3e was a European version...though it’s available in NA. Sounds logical to me. I like my aging ...
