This was a great heads up review.

I am very interested in the Oppo as a transport for CD playback, you have given it a rave review. Can you refine your review of the CD playback, I was concidering a G08, possibly Meridian graded stock, but would sooner get an Oppo which is cheaper and does many other formats of Optical Disks (More icing on the cake).

Have you compared to a lesser player than the 800, and If it was close to the 800 will it at least be as good as a G08 in real world listening.

Anyone else please jump in with your tests or thoughts on this.

Kind regards Simon

Don't you just hate to buy something described as mint condition and you find what they actually meant was polo mint (with holes).
