The CD50 was Resolution Audio's first CD player about 5 years ago(They made separates beford that). I'm not even sure if I will replace it because it's still pretty competative and has the PMD100 chip in it to do the digital filtering. Resolution lost their licence for the chip and now use a proprietory filtering algorithm.
In fact Martin DeWulf from Bound for Sound (an underground audiophile newsletter) ,who first spotted the CD50 as an outstanding player, suggested to me that I keep it and run it into the ground. He gets to hear all the state of the art gear and said I'd have to spend a LOT more money to do marginally better, even with the advances in digital over the last 5 years. My impression is that Resolution was somewhat ahead of their time, doing things like upsampling, long before it became a catch phrase.
PS DeWulf had spotted the CD50 about 2 years before TAS did a (glowing) review on it.
