I have had the opportunity to listen to Cayin and Opera/Consonance gear. From a look and feel standpoint the build quality is actually pretty good.
The Consonance CD players are quite good. I have also heard an EL34 based amp and Mono's from them - they sounded pretty good too. I have heard the Cayin Integrated and and it was a nice little unit. Ultimately, it comes down to if you like the way they sound. From a build quality and reliability perspective, I think Cayin and Consonance is fine.
