The Jolida JD 100A is a very musical CD player. I have heard it more than times at my fav dealer and from 20 minutes to more than 2 hours each time. I did not buy it because I decided to go the route of th ARCAM rDAC such that I could also have PC out via USB connectivity. Normally I use my older CD player with the digital co axial outputs into the rDAC. I have compared this set-up to several $1000 and $1200 CD players, such as ARCAM, Vincent and Jolida. Onlythe Jolida sounded beter in the treble but the CD/rDAC set-up has stronger more dynamic bass. The Cambridge azur 650c is a nice sounding player for the moeny but is NOT in the Jolida' "league".
