Head scratching CD Player

[manicm]

Stereonet gave this battery powered (also DC in) 'portable' CDP high praise. It uses a R2R Dac. With only digital out, so you can't use its dac for hifi duty. Idiots. Especially since it's a very classy looking aluminium clad piece of kit. And cheap it ain't.

So, everyone, this is the world's first headphone CD player? Because you're not going to take it outside.

$699 for an ugly chunk of metal, offering nothing unique. Got me scratching my head too 😊

that is a classy looking unit 😍

But yes, who is the audience, and what for? No Bluetooth by the looks of it, so couldn’t take a few CDs & your wireless speaker out for a picnic.

I’m still looking for a cd transport so I might keep an eye on what the internet starts to say about performance etc

I love the styling… Now I’m worried I have terrible taste in hifi design 🤣🤣🤣

It has that retro look, it just seems like those press down button cassette players.
Maybe I need to go back for a second look 😁

That's exactly why I like - styled more like a 70s cassette deck 😎
