Interesting comments so far - thanks. I do believe my initial impression that audiophiles hoping to obtain "$5000 performance for $1600" were faced with unmet expectations due to a likely system mismatch, and so moved on. The 840C is yet another one of those love-hate controversial items, and all started by a TAS reviewer's rather lofty remarks. In my system I haven't heard a better player, and I've tried many; it does everything I look for in outstanding music reproduction and more. The 840C along with tube gear and Magnepans is the magic formula in my case, so I 'spose I'm one of the lucky ones not to have to scrounge up another $3400 for a CD player :)
ppopp: I think you've hit the proverbial nail on the head, and of course this will apply to most any piece of audio gear out there (just look at the hundreds upon hundreds of every type of component made posted in the AudioGon classifieds at any given moment); total system synergy is key.
