I've been mucking about with an absolute honey of a CD player for a few

Highly recommended. Very detailed, very quiet (quieter than my test
equipment, in fact) and, IMO, extremely well priced. It will accept the
output of a transport, or it can be used as a transport on it's own
(though why you'd bother, I don't know). The DAC in this thing will
comprehensively clobber any surround sound reciever I know of. In fact,
it is clearly superior to pretty much anything I've used in my system
recently.
If you need a high end player, you would do worse than listening to this
puppy. Mind blowing value for money, IMO.
How is the FF/REW function? Fairly quick and fast (like the old CD
players), or like a DVD player (slow and "burpy")?
No answer for me. 8(
**Sorry. I hadn't used that function. In fact, I can't say that I every
use that function. I have now. It takes around 10 seconds per minute.
IMO, THAT is the last reason anyone would or should buy this player. It
has been said that it's styling is rather ordinary. A point I agree
with. However, the sound is so damned good, I could care less.
