The Cambridge 340C plays CDs flawlessly. There is nothing tat could justify spending more, even for the higher models in Cambridge's own line.

In terms of sound quality, there is no such thing as a "higher end player".

Better qualify that with "a non revealing system".

Glad to know that you have finally come to your senses and admitted that fact.

I would believe you if it were a bias controlled listening test. But I've done the bias controlled testing so I view it as a preference on your part rather than an audible difference. I do believe that you believe you heard the differences. Been there done that. Perhaps one day you will conduct a bias controlled test and learn the truth.

So the differences in Dynamic range, S/N, Analog stages, power supply/transformers, DAC's, etc,.... None of that matters, huh?!
If you two believe it doesn't than you both should explain why there are differences in specs and performance ratings.

Interesting review in the latest issue of Sterophile. Wes Phillips wrote up a review of the new Definitive Technologies Mythos ST SuperTower speakers. The first time he heard them was with John Atkinson in an apartment and I won't go into the details other than say he was so impressed by the sound that he quickly agreed to review them for the manufacturer. He asked how they were being powered during that visit and describes how stunning the sound was. The manufacturer told him that they were being powered by an integrated amp, Cayin A-50T and the transport? A Sony PS1 that was picked up at a garage sale for $35. He says and I quote: "JA and I sat there, chins touching laps, taking them in."
So, perhaps, on the issue of sound quality, the transport may not be quite as important as some would have us believe.
