for the CDP-1
I was very disappointed by this CD-Player.
It has many features (volume control, XLR and RCA outputs, etc.), seems to be very well built (hefty power supply, many discrete components), but the transport is noisy, and the sound is so-so.
Slightly aggressive in the mid-high range, flat soundstage, lack of deep bass... More like a $500-$1000 CD-player.
Product Weakness: Sound, noisy transport Product Strengths: Look, features, apparent built quality
