I have and had the pleasure of listing to ALOT of players and dac's over the years. Two of my very close friends one wrote for a online stereo review and my other friend had a writer of a very known stereo magazine live with him for a few years. No name dropping so please don't ask. The best dac I have ever heard was called a bricasti dac simply just frigging amazing $7k. The best one box player I heard was a company called Jaton the 1000b. This thing uses the best parts and built like a tank but even better it sounded amazing. I could never afford it since being married with children spending over $3k on a player was never in the budget. Well I looked on audiogon and they are having a special for 50% off their players. I jumped on it and man I can't wait. This player is just insane. My friend had a review sample and I heard it for a few days a few years ago and I have been dreaming of owning a player of this caliber for years and now it is true. Very cool...

"""The CD1000A is the top of line model which uses 8 unit of Mundorf top of line Mcap supreme Silver/Gold/Oil 8.2uF/1200DC capacitors and each one of them would cost you more than $ 260 dollars. Not mention the other well-mode components that also use on all the major analog signal paths. You wouldn’t find those even from the very high end system which could cost you more than $ 10,000 but the CD1000A just retail at $ 4900.
We also made another model CD1000B by use Mundorf Mcap Supreme silver/oil capacitors in stead of the silver/gold/oil one with the same design and other components if you wish to have a less cost $ 2900 than $ 4900. And it would be the best value of the series.
The third model is the CD1000C. Instead Mundorf caps, we use WIMA high performance capacitors. This model will retail at $ 1900 each and it is a very good CD player to start your first high end stereo system."""
I got a B
Great, as others said fill us in after a few months.

Nice, it is a rush to be able to get our hands on gear we never thought possible to have.
Post your thoughts/impressions on the breaking-in of this spinner.
The player came in today. My friend who writes for one of the online audio websites meet me at my house. Built like a tank weighs 25 lbs. took the cover off looks like the pix that I posted. The power supply is huge like a stereo amp...the face is plain but the feel and fit and finish is a+. The display is easy readable. Their is a stand buy on the remote and you can change the dac settings by the remote on the fly just buy pushing a button pretty cool. It is brand new but 2 hours of play man this thing is just incredible..my friend took it home since I am leaving for a trip tomorrow. He has a audio research transport and some $3000 dac forgot the name and he already texted me and the jaton is walking all over it. Like I said the only thing I have ever heard that would beat it is the bricasti dac at 7k. And side by side the jaton comes close very close. It's has a extreamly natural, effort less presentation it's scary hand the total balance is crazy top to bottom good. Btw it's not even broken in yet. Yahoo!!
My friends dac is a lampizator form Poland I think. Very nice dac. Also the jaton comes with a upgraded Powercord. It has a upgraded iec plug end and it is pretty thick. I personally use a nordost blue heaven power cord.
Very nice! earnie3.
Keep me posted as you break-in this CDP.
if the new model, should there be one, has a digital input. Let's face it, who's going to care about playing MP3/WMA/FLAC that's on a disc, but if you can play them from "elsewhere", it greatly expands the usability/desirability of the product.
Agree, the guts look very nice, me likee! The front looks reminiscent of a certain Oppo model, I think it was a few years ago, plain but functional = means business.
Why the 50% discount? Are they blowing out inventory and getting out of the biz? A new model on the way soon?

About:
Jaton Corporation was founded in 1983 in Taiwan. As business expanded and quality standards became higher, our headquarter relocated in 1988 to the U.S.A. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Jaton has grown into a leading manufacturer of PC graphic cards. Jaton Corporation is specialized in designing and manufacturing high-performance graphic accelerator cards. Our products have been successful because they consistently feature high-quality designs and prices suited for main stream applications. As Jaton takes our pride in constantly designing better and more innovative products for the computer users. In 2001, we took a further step in our company history and entered the consumer electronics industry by joining CEA (Consumer Electronics Association).Since then our engineering team never stops their mission in designing better solutions for living. Jaton is now also the manufacture providing speaker systems from Hi-End hi-fi stereo speakers, home theatre speaker systems, to audio and video equipments and accessories. In the past 20 years, we have been successful to set up a number of branch offices all over the world, which now including: U.S.A.(Headquarter) and Taiwan.
Where is their U.S.A. office located? I can honestly remark that I, too, have never heard/read anything about this company.
They have a facility in Fremont, CA which is in N.CA "silicon valley".
I recall back in the 70's and into the early 80's many electronic manufacturing companies were located in Fremont.In fact...
"A boom in high-tech employment in the 1980s to the late 1990s, especially in the Warm Springs District, caused rapid development in the city and linked the city with the Silicon Valley. The Apple factory where the first Mac computer was manufactured was located in Fremont(production ceased in 1993). Other semiconductor and telecommunications firms soon opened in the city, including Cirrus Logic, Asyst Technologies, Mattson Technology, Lam Research, Premisys Communications, and Nextlink California. Approximately 750 high tech companies had offices, headquarters or production facilities in Fremont by 1999. These firms included fifteen of the top one hundred fastest-growing public companies in the San Francisco Bay Area and eighteen of the top fifty companies in the East Bay."
It must be true: Link below

Interesting. Thanks.
It is the closest East Bay city to Silicon Valley, and is thus sometimes associated with it.
A 10 minute commute by car, or better yet by bike, may no longer be feasible for most who work in silicon valley. For those of us who worked at the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI), Atherton, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Portola Valley, or Woodside were the choice places to live, but all are quite pricy now.

Fremont is across the bay from what has been traditionally considered silicon valley, towns on the SF peninsula mostly south of Palo Alto and Stanford like Mountain View and Cupertino. But it's been nearly two decades since we lived in the hills above Stanford, so what's considered silicon valley may have expanded. The VC capital used to be on Sand Hill Road near 280. Fremont is a long bridge ride away, but prices on the desirable peninsula may have driven expansion to the east bay.

You're right. I tend to lump all the tech companies up there as being in Silicon Valley. It's been over a couple decades since I've lived in N.CA. I lived in Davis, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Pleasanton, then Mountain View. After moving from Davis, I worked in San Jose and Mountain View.
Car pooling into work from the East Bay area was always an adventure trying to navigate and reroute based on the traffic jam reports heard on the radio. ;-)
Thank You! Abe.
they typically wrap everything in gold foil. It is probably copper, but looks close enough. Very understated exterior. It must weigh a lot.
Nt
MuMetal?
Too much is never enough
It weights about 25lbs. Yes the exterior is not flashy but the fit and finish is top notch and the draw is super quiet and the display is easy o read.
Beautiful pic! Tell me more about this player?
more pictures
Very nice! I am impressed w/ the S/N ratio @ 119. Killer spec.
It was one of the most natural sounding players with body texture weight and also have-in great control detail and no loss of air and dynamics. scary how good it sounds..
Is there a website? Whom is the distributor?
Search jaton audio. They design and make their own.
Thank You!
It uses a all high quality parts including mundolf silver and oil caps through it. It even plays 24/96 flac files. Go to jaton and do a search and look under specs.
CD1000B use Mundorf Mcap Supreme silver/oil capacitors. This unique with high performance caps along the analog paths design will bring the best benefits from tubes and solid design.Which will perform the warm and richness same like tubes system but skip its distortion and noise. And also present the speed and accuracy as solid one. Plus the long life time of those top quality caps which will maintain well performance longer than other solutions.
We believe that after reading the above paragraphs, you will know how serious Jaton is when designing and building its systems, and how much you can save to have a world class audio system from us too.

An interesting mix of specs. I love the synchronus upsamplng to 176.4 , 192 sucks. The analog out is somewhat puzzling to me. 47K ohm output impedance? I seldom see units over 1K ohm much less 47. Your specs show only a volt output but the Jaton site at my link says 1.5 - this will require an active preamp for sure.
I'm sure it's nice and look forward to a review after some time.

I confess that I haven't looked back after replacing my CDP with a server based solution a couple of years ago. All digital content of varying bitrates is instantly available across multiple systems.
I find it interesting that it plays 24/96 FLAC. What digital input options does it provide? I couldn't locate a pic of the rear panel.
no digital inputs, so the transport reads a FLAC data disc? See link for A'gon ad w/pic
ET
Great info Awe!
does this company make its own transport/drive as well? If not, whom manufacturers it?
I don't know but I'd bet they buy a transport. Not too many make them. I couldn't find out what transport it is.
Cheers
