What a wonderful product. I was suppose to get a C 542i but here I am with a C541i and yes it give me exactty what I looking for. My amp is an Nad 2200PE with an pre-amp AV 917 (all stuff from classifieda) and I must say the definition of each instrument are very well defined. Anyway I paid 80$ for this used cd reader so I can not be less that glad about this product. By the way my speakers are JBL L80t and HPM 900 from Pioneer. Enjoy yours now !!
