Since I'm committed to the physical Redbook CD format, this seemed like the ultimate player for me.
It's a CD player/High-end DAC/Preamp with a constant speed CD player that feeds the signal into a buffer,
has an internal clock that keeps jitter low, upsampling capability to 512 DSD & 768k PCM, uses the ESS 9028 chip,
and has a high quality Preamp. I just got it in a couple of says ago, and I'm impressed; I listen exclusively to
Classical orchestral and solo piano music, and this player nails it. I put on several CDs of the RCA Film music
series with Charles Gerhardt (Franz Waxman & Erich Korngold), it's the best sound I've gotten from these CDs.
With straight PCM (44k, 16 bit, upsampling off) the player sounds very good; natural extended highs, very good dynamics
and a nice soundstage. Before receiving the player I pulled out 8-10 CDs with grainy, glarey upper mids/highs; I
wanted to see they would fare on the Nuprime. The glare/grain was mostly gone.
Worth taking a look at if you're committed to the Physical CD format-
