This is a cd player with a tube output stage. I have exclusively cd's in my collection. This cd player makes all of them sound wonderful. I also bought the BAT vk300se integrated amplifier( a hybrid) I expected the highs and mids to be better but was suprised to find the bass was improved in a big way. Example: on eric claptons song "lay down sally", the bass using my solid state rig was thumpy and very irritating. I often thought,"did the recording engineers not listen to this before they released it". With the BAT rig the bass is controled and real. Bass is now the strings being plucked to the decay of the note. Voices are amazing and the highs are smooth. There are actually words that are being resolved that were burps on the ss rig. Example: The beatles "revolution" and INXS "the devil in side". Good luck
