Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: If you bought a CD player today, what would it be?

The Proton is the "lightest" of their models and hardly in the same class as the two you mentioned. I like it (and my MacBook Pro) because it travels well as a portable headphone DAC and equals or betters the sound of most CD players in the under $2500 class that I have listened to.

It doesn't work nearly as well in my main system, and since it is battery powered it can't drive headphones like the Audeze, alone (without adding a fairly high dose of current of from a headphone amp). As i wrote earlier, it matches very well with K-701s in a stand-alone mode and is perfect for me on "small" bands with my SinglePower head amp.
