Im really enjoying the music that this combo makes and to me its

What you sacrifice for the price is mostly cosmetics; plastic or aluminum knobs, solid or flimsy casing shell and lacquered wood panels and beautiful meters; none of which add to its ability to reproduce great music, because all the AS’s from 300 to 3000 do exactly that: PRODUCE GREAT MUSIC

Excellent build quality,GREAT machine!!!

There are many excellent machines out there with fair price

Well, all the positive comments on the AS2100 are true

I did consider the AS3000, but it was not available at the time, and many reviewers commented no difference in sound quality

The negatives are the SACD player is dead quiet except when opening; it sounds like a slab of marble sliding on the floor

I compare this with my reference CDP from Ayon sorry folks winner is the Ayon

They are expensive but well worth it

First off, I want to thank the many reviewers who made informative comments

(cost me 29 euro’s with 200 euronics bonus points), then I demo’ d the AS1000 amp and matching SACD player, which I almost purchased for 1300 euro’s each, but did not due to the SACD having a plastic tray

After a month of waiting I brought the units home, set them up and Holy Cow, they sounds as good as the McIntosh

This combo is the best bang for the buck

So about that sound, well, from the AS300 to the AS2100, the sound is consistently audiophile grade; low budget audiophile to high budget audiophile that is

This is a very good CD/SACD/DAC player

However, the CD-S2000 is noisy when running!

This is an exceptional CD player

This is a very well made CDP precision built like many high end players weighs quite a bit , its an excellent sounding CD player with a high amount of detail, for the price i paid its worth it
