I glimpsed a review of it in that new magazine (Digital Audio??). List is $450. It has 2x oversampling and apparently 16 bit decoding and quotes its phase linearity (I recall). It interested me, anyhow. I have the CDP-101 which everyone likes to act so superior to. Nevertheless, tin ear that I am, (that's Sn-ear, by the way (why is it that everyone hates puns except their author?)) I have been nothing other than pleased for about a year now. I have not had even one incident of mistracking (knock on wood) and while some of my approx 45 cds are much less super than others, they are all readily distinguished from cassettes, records, etc by an inherent clarity that stamps them as something special. -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!"
