  That Philips from part 2 looked great. The other ones look like boring boxes.

  Best CD player I have heard and worked on recently despite many machines that go from cheap as chips to £10,000 and the best I have had here is the Vincent CD-S7dac which is actually a full player with valves in the buffer output stages.

  I've loved your cd player videos so much, I'm not even in the market for a cd player but I've really enjoyed your articulated opinions and hands on experiences with these devices, it's a shame that so few people focus on the whole user experience in their reviews

  Thanks for your videos, i found them really interesting and enjoyable; what's wonderful of this comparison is that cd players could offer hi-fi on a budget, if you can't afford expensive transport units. A good dac a cheap new transport and you're in music heaven .

  Anyone who has ever had a front loader transport that fouled up will looove the Rega's manual top loading.

  I am still a huge vinyl and CD guy. I don't do any streaming services. It was brought home recently when our internet service was down for over a week because of storms and upgrades. Yet I was able to keep enjoying music thank goodness to my library of music. Fortunately my power was on as well.

  I would describe the Rega as energetic. I was demoing speakers at the time and the rega was used as the source. I really loved it.

  Great shootout. I really liked that you went into detail about the whole user experience with each of them.

  I bought the Pro-Ject drive a good year ago, before that I had listened to ripped CDs on a good ripping system. The sound on my NOS-DAC is worlds better than before. Thank you for this great series of videos ☺.
