At Smarter.com, we aim to ensure we give you the most sound buying advice possible. With our 'Cumulative Product Rating' system, in order for a product to receive a rating score, it must have a minimum number of ratings to qualify.
This system is not intended to diminish the value of products with a low number of ratings and reviews, they're great, and hopefully very helpful, but if you want our advice, we want to make sure that the product you're thinking of buying has been rated and reviewed by enough shoppers like you to be a valuable indicator of product quality.

Detail without fatigue, good soundstage, nice to look at and easy to program. Nice job with redbook besting my former player(had been using a toshiba 9200 which was no slotch). SACD is just great.
PROS: Build, looks, base management, i link, and sound on redbook and sacd.
CONS: Remote is tacky.
