On. top of that a new toroidal transformer has been fitted and the analogue filtering. So, they could have claimed it to be a completely new model.
I'm concerned. In spite of all these changes the price has stayed. Reasons enough to investigate. The unit comes packed in a very practical box, with a handle for easy carrying.

Everything is well packaged and the user's manual is clear, informative and to the point. Installing it is simplicity itself and the only. I noticed when I loaded the first CD is that the CD drawer doesn't seem. CD actually is several millimeters inside the player. Hardly a problem, though.

The casing itself feels. The remote control unit is very stylish, in my opinion, and feels solid and. Listening. I put the Isotek system enhancer CD in it and left it on repeat. After 6 hours I had a quick listen.
I gave it another try after 2. Peter Gabriel's first solo album always is a good. The sound. stage was deep, if not very wide, and individual instruments were nicely separated. Treble was still a bit hard and it lacked some control.
I left it to burn in for another day and things did improve a little. After about three days it seemed to have reached its maximum, so I. The overall impression of this CD player is lively and energetic.
Resolution is good and the sound is quite clean and relatively free of digital. Especially the attack, or leading edge of sounds is portrayed very clearly. Percussion sounds very clear. Bass is full and deep and the total balance. The player also doesn't seem. Even instruments that are almost straight behind a speaker do not seem to come. Where other affordable players harden up in complex parts and make the whole.
Cambridge Audio is able to cope with much more than. I expected, with the sound only getting slightly aggressive when the going gets. Voices sound natural and with very little added sibilance. Intelligibility. is excellent. The impression of 'air' is very good, with echo's and reverberation. Spatial separation. So, an excellent player, especially for the asking price.
But. of course, there are a few minor points to criticise. Don't think you'll be.
CD source for this kind of money. After a few days of concentrated.
Treble isn't completely. Loud piano tones in busy parts do sound a bit hard and the sound can. Bass lacks some control and a fraction. Bowed double bass sound a little rough.
I know to be possible. At this point I have to tell you that my own CD player is a Micromega. Stage 3, which is perhaps old but has been upgraded with a new clock and countless. Not a good reference in the sense that you cannot get hold of.
The Micromega is warm, but. The amplifier was the Anatek A5. Dact CT- 2 volume.
Dynaudio Contour 1. Overall I preferred the. The Cambridge Audio's character is more towards analytical than.
There is no way you can call this a 'smooth' player, although it certainly. It is just that the emphasis is elsewhere with this machine. That said, the sounds is missing a little bit of body, even though the bass. It is more so that individual instruments. This probably is the flip side of that impressive separation of instruments.
The whole mid and treble actually sound a little bit 'bleached'. Please do realise that it took me several days to notice this, so it isn't a.
But if you listen to a lot of live recorded music it will become. Subtle tonal shades are sometimes lost, especially in. And the tendency of this player to make things sound 'fast'. The combination. of that full, slightly under- controlled bass and this slight leanness also sometimes. Deep bass is projected more forward and occupies. On one occasion a bass drum was portrayed several meters more to the.
Piano also tends to be taken apart somewhat, with excellent. The feeling can be that of different instruments, or even parts of the same. The whole sound is also not as rock- solid. On the other hand: fast and spectacular music does profit much. Certainly pop music, where tonality isn't always. Of course, partnering equipment will influence this too. My Anatek. amp is very precise and quick.
The Cambridge Audio might do even better with. But if you like your music fast and energetic, even this combination. I got a good demonstration of the player's strengths and weaknesses. Mahler's fifth (Berliner philharmoniker, Claudio Abbado) where.
This prevents the building of tension somewhat and breaks the connections. It would take things a bit far to call this a player with. I do have to stress that I was still able to enjoy. Even after more than a week of use the soundstage was still completely.
Micromega can project things to upto. The whole soundstage stayed rather narrow, but with.
It made for. a little bit of a 'telephoto' perspective. I rather like sources that project. Focus and separation were still excellent. Conclusion. The bottom line is that this player, good as it is, still has. Everything has that slight stamp on it that you. Detail is being forced upon you a bit, instead.
The details it prefers to accentuate. This effect is strongest. But, I do have to be honest at this point.
All these qualities. And I was judging it in a context with an amplifier costing more that. Cambridge Audio costs, and speakers that are more than 7 times. It would be a little bit too much to expect a player to perform. On the whole it actually did very well, certainly. I was able to listen to it. I am sure it will perform absolutely brilliantly.
The reason I went into so much detail explaining its shortcomings. I want to take this product seriously. This player is setting new standards. In the end my main problems are with the slight unevenness that is caused by. Main strengths are its energy, its. One thing is absolutely certain: for the money this is one hell.
