Kolla in denna konversation jag haft med Cattylink i dag,
de rekommenderar alltså helst en billig ESOUND CD-E3...
DEAR MR,
SHANLING AND ORIGINAL'S CHASSIS BUILDING ARE SOHISTICATED AND MUCH BETTER THAN THE ESOUND. 2008 SOUNDS NEUTRAL BUT NOT MUSICAL. FOR ORIGINAL CD PLAYERS THE DA VINCI TOP LOADING ONE SOUNDS THE BEST. SHANLING MODELS SOUNDS A BIT TIGHT AND THICK BUT THE QUALITY CONTROL AND METAL WORK IS GOOD,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TRUST.
SINCERELY,

DEAR MR,
THE TRACKING ERROR DO OCCUR IN THEIR FIRST BATCHES BUT HAS THIS OVERCOME BY NEW IMPROVED SOFTWARE. SCD-1 IS HAS NO SOOTHING EFFECT OF THE TUBES AND REVEAL A QUITE ATTACKING BASS FROM SACD PLAYING. IF FOR A TRIAL WE WOULD RECOMMEND THE ESOUND CD-E3 AS THE PERFORMANCE FOR STRINGS AND VOCALS IS VERY ATTRACTIVE, SMOOTH AND EASY. . . . . WITH TOUCHING EMOTION. THE PRICE IS LOWER THAN THE CD-E5 BUT STILL EMPLOYS THE EXPENSIVE CLOCK SYSTEM TCCO (TEMPERATURE COMPENSATED CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR) THAT WE CAN SEE IN MARK LEVINSON OR WADIA HIGH-END MODELS.

Hi!
Thanks for your nice and fast answer. The Audionet SAM v2 is a very good, slightly warm-sounding, integrated German solid state amp in the price region of 3500 Euro. I would compare it to Accuphase E-307. In other words, it's a classy system my new CD-player will front. If you can recommend a Cattylink CD-player at any price, would Xindak SCD-2 still be your/my choice? What about it's fuzzyness/failure to play some CD's/CDR's? I've read about that SCD-downside in some US review...
PS: Does Xindak SCD-1 sounds less good than SCD-2?

DEAR MR,
I WOULD SUGGEST XINDAK SCD-2 TUBE SACD PLAYER AS THE SOUND OF THE LATEST BATCHES IS OF A VERY HIGH SOUND QUALITY EVEN WITH NORMAL CD PLAYING. ESOUND CD-E5 HAS BETTER SOUND STAGE THAN CD-E3 BUT APPEAR TO HAVE SOME EDGES ON HIGHS WHILE CD-E3 HAS SMOOTH EDGES IN HIGHS AND VERY TOUCHING IN THE MIDS. REGRETTABLY WE KNOW WELL THE DALI BUT HAVE NO EXPERIENCE ON THE AUDIONET SO WE CANNOT COMMENT ON THE BEST SETUP POSSIBLITY. DIFFERENCE IN SCD-2 WILL LIE ON THE TUBE SOUND - A NICE PAIR OF USA 5670 TUBES OFFERS THE WARMTH AND FANTASY FEELINGS OF TUBES THAT IS IMPORTANT IN SMOOTHING OUT THE RATHER ATTACKING BASS OF SACDs.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TRUST AND YOU ARE WELCOME TO DISCUSS WITH US FURTHER.

I got an AudioNET SAM v2 and a pair of Dali Euphonia MS4 and is now thinking of a new CDP. You seems to have many chices with somewhat unknown brands as Xindak, Original, Eastsound etc. What would you recommend? My friend Stefan Bysteds ordered a Eastsound 5 and I'm curious about that or perhaps Xindak SCD-1 or 2 (whats the difference in sound?). Do you have any ideas?
