I had intentions of upgrading my CDP to one of Meridians CDP's most likely the G07 , Untill a few chaps from the Ausie forum that I frequent pointed me towards a Chinese made CDP
Opera Audio, the unit I ended up getting
( Consonance Droplet 5.0 arround 1300 pounds)was I think cheeper than the G07 and some reviewers rated it better than the G08 and the build quility is fantastic weighs in arround 45 pounds.

Any way the point is the chinese are producing some very fine Audio gear nowadays at half the price in Europe, makes it hard to ignore in the bang for bucks equipment.
