Solid performance, well built, great sound.

This review is refering to the 541i model but the quality of NAD is shown in this as well. I went on a quest to build my first audio system and found myself buying the NAD T773 receiver and the 541i for my cd player. So far its been great. I initially got the 521i but found myself looking for a long term cd player and the 541 was just a better buy. So far Ive learned that there is no limit to how far you can go with home theatre/audio. I think I found a good place with NAD.

Marantz CD63MKII KI CD player This one is two classes better

Extremely good detail and low frequency reproduction.

Exposes the limitations of your equipment. Makes you want to upgrade the rest of your components to match the potential of this CD player.

This review is for a 2004 C542. I purchased this player to replace a broken (and mediocre) Sony ES carousel player. After reading the many positive reviews posted on this site for the C542, and the older C541 and C540, I decided to give this player a try. I'm sure glad that I did. When I first fired it up, I immidiately noticed that it had extremely good low frequency reproduction and output. After 24-48 hours of break in, the true capabilities of this player began to show. Vocals are extremely natural and smooth sounding. I can hear subleties in vocals that were never present when I had the Sony hooked up. When listening to instrumental discs, I can pick out individual instruments in the background. Detail overall is outstanding. I am very happy with this player, which has made me rediscover my CD collection. My only gripe is that it has exposed the limitations of my system, consisting of Paradigm Mini-Monitor main speakers, Kimber PR4 speaker cables, and a Denon 3803 7 channel receiver.
