Boa2, I think it was the MK 2 version, it doesn't really matter to me, I just found the room sounded, OK. Maybe it was the speakers, I don't know. I just moved on to the next room. Yes I am suggesting that a cd player less than $4,000 can sound great. I can't take any credit for this though, I'm just a happy music listening customer. In case your curious, check this out:http://www.stereounlimited.com/Home.htm I have never heard ANY digital front end at any show sound as good as it does at this store! They have their own patanted wire that they modify components with. This is also the #1 Magnapan and Avantegarde dealer in the country and yes their $27,000 Viva Aurora monoblocks are sitting on bike tubes. They don't care about the price of tweaks, just what sounds good! I've learned to stop listening to reviews and started listening to music. Why spend more when you don't have to. The Jolida cd player I heard was completly rewired and sounded quite a bit different than stock, same with AMC and DAC-9 all tube source, about $2,000 or so, still the most analog like to me but as we know this all rather subjective and a matter of personal taste. Have fun listening and good luck!
