Bought a Roksan Caspian M2 at the weekend. So far 2 CD's wont track properly. Both happen to be Pink Flyod CD's.
The shop gave me a gentle warning that they have had several units returned with this issue and suggested a Denson B410XS instead.
I took the Roksan and they told me to test for a week and if any problem bring it back and they would replace the unit or change for the Denson
Nothing worse than buying new kit that is faulty, so what with the shop's comments, my confidence in another Roksan is low.
Anyone heard the Denson B410XS or has opinion if i should make the switch?
IJ said:Part of the reason to buy it, was being an double award winner it should be a no brainer + i wanted to get closer to the sound of the RP3(truly amazing) + had enough issues already with error mesages on the Theta and on my second laser already on the CD-7
My dealer is local to me, but not in the UK
I will get to listen to the Densen tonight, but deep down i want to try out another Caspian unit.
IJ said:Continued listening into the night. Apart from the 2 CD's mentioned,all sounded fine, then half way into a Roxette live CD, jump, skip, speed up, stop. The display then said no disc.
So far about 3 out of 15 CD's dont track. Tested each again on my old CD player and all track fine and retested on the Capsian and all skip. I cleaned the CD's but no difference. Maybe i am just unlucky so hoping this is a one off and a replacement unit will resolve the issue.

SteveR750 said:Personally I'd ring Roksan, and give them the serial number, and details of where you bought it from.
I had a similar problem with a Cyrus CD6SE Mk1, and a simple firmware fixed it, but I had to speak directly to Cyrus to fully understand how to fix it and quickly. No real critiscism of the retailer, other than most know less than your average active forum member.
Shanka said:Hi, Sorry to hijack the thread a little, Steve have you heard any update on the Roksan DAC ? I am waiting for the new Naim V1 dac to come out before I start demoing again, shortlist are NAD M51, MF Clic, Naim V1 ( Naim streamers don't have usb ). Glad you are happy with your CD now, mine has not skipped a beat in 2 1/2 years and have no intention of changing it. Thanks
