Please confirm that you paid full retail price from your own pocket for this piece of equipment. Sorry if this seems unfriendly, but Fosi is one of a few companies that provides equipment free or at discounted rates for exactly this sort of review. The site views such things as advertising.

Exactly, who wants a portable CD player in this day and age?

According to the guy NTTY who did all the measurements it makes an excellent transport - best he's measured.

CD players are making a bit of a comeback with the younger generation.

Perhaps, I see Shanling has also produced one now.

I’d not be able to tell the difference these days, but Tascam do have a great heritage/legacy too. 🫢

A slightly bizarre conclusion from him, as usually he’s excellent at summarising. His own table clearly shows it’s well below his own benchmark for max DAC resolution, placing 11th. But obviously for the money it’s a bargain indeed and another triumph for Fosi!

If he's suggesting it's a good transport then the DAC doesn't come into the equation.
