Along with the dCS Puccini and Wadia 781i, the Simaudio Andromeda was one of my so-called "Big 3" CD players.
Hands down, the Andromeda provided THE BEST sound I've ever had in my home. Nothing else has come to matching the Andromeda's living, breathing sense of "live."
But as my readers know, the Andromeda, like the other CD players I've reviewed, had its negatives.
For over half a decade, I've been trying to find a player which has the Andromeda's sound quality, but in a more usable package.
Simaudio's own Supernova had better ergonomics, but its sound erred on the warm side, wasn't as transparent and lively as the Andromeda.
Simaudio's more affordable CD-3.3X had a good DAC section, but a lousy transport. So the search continues...
