Well, I'll try to be as much objective at this review. Caspian is bought as SH product, hoping to achieve at least the same sound that is offered Arcam Alpha 7SE. Before I was buy Caspain I was bought and sold more CD Play’s: Arcam Alpha 7se, Arcam Diva 72T , Musical Fidelity A3.2, Audio Aero Prima 192/94. What could Caspain expressed as a winner in the previous competition?

Strength:
Open midrange, bass and smooth highs. HIGI PERFORMANCE FOR THE MONEY
Weakness:
Looks a little plain. This player is wonderful. I have had the Simaudio Supernova, Rega Jupiter, Musical Fidelity A5 and Shanling CDT100. This unit is no Simaudio in sound quality but it is very good and there is value to be had for $1900. I do not miss my Musical Fidelity and my Supernova for 1/2 the price so go figure.

Strength:
Vocal presence, timbre, separation, and can jump from the lowest ( very deep ) lows , to extreme highs with very good dynamics and transparency.
Weakness:
Wish I had a good turntable, yet this can sound analog on good recordings. Very, very good sounding from top to bottom. 5 magazines have written up some very explanatory reviews. One said it is a gifted player that is well worth it's asking price. I find the sound to be quite satisfying, but I only listen to very good quality cds, because it is not fair to throw evrything at a cd player, because there are a lot of bad recordings that sound too digital ( superficial ), and the sound from them can make any player sound terrible. Similar Products Used: Sony XA 7ES, 777esd, Nakamichi, and a couple of other low end players. |

Weakness:
see above A funny blend of soft and warm lows, with bright crisp highs. Mids are rather good and lush, very natural. Complexed material can end in a blured presentation, thou cool jazz and eazy rock sound goog here. Soundstaging is fairly wide, not so as deep. Similar Products Used: many |

Strength:
Very good with vocal presence, rich, with excellent bass, etc. Also soundstage is wonderful.
Weakness:
Like all cd players, you need a good cd, yet some of the reviews say this player can play most cd's well. Very nice sounding cd player. I had to read all the reviews, and then play with a couple of cd's. Up came Diana Krall, and I have to agree that this is a gifted player. The whole room was filled with her vocal presence, and I did not feel that digital turn off. I have only had this for a while, but so far I have to agree with one of the reviews, that it is a gifted player. Bass is very, very good, with depth, and weight. Similar Products Used: Sony 707esd, xa7es, Nakamichi, and various lower end. Also a reference Levinson. |

As mentioned earlier: sounstage / smoothness / bass and of course looks!
Weakness:
lack the top end sparkle,liveliness. quick review: it is a very good player with all the fundamentals needed to have great sonics. the one thing I wanted to share is that I thought that roksan in trying to make this player non aggressive /non fatiguing resulted in a lack of spark with the top end,as being too polite. This was really missing for me and instead of looking for another cdp I decided to investigate with a cheap tweak by buying a older basic tube D.A.C the CAL sigma I. Inserted a 5751 ge blackplate tube and magic happened! really. the combination of the roksan strenth (soundstage/bass/details)coupled with the magic of a little tube sparks for top end frequencies is an unbelievable combination!I had too share. If you can give it a try then do so,this is my experience and I listen to high end analogue too with my interspace TT and I have to admit sometimes I do enjoy the digital more over my TT on the right recordings..(never thought I would say that!) :) thxs for reading. T. Similar Products Used: plenty from B.A.T,SONY,N.E.W and more. |

Strength:
Smooth sound, you''''ll think twice about whether you''''re listening to a cd, build quality, cosmetics.
Weakness:
price point could be the only factor I''''m going to keep this review short and sweet. I''''m speechless. It sounds as close to analog as you''''re going to get for the $. It has a very cool flip down front panel that reveals/concelas the disc tray. It''''s built like a tank. It''''s not black. Listen to it. Be prepared to buy it. 4 stars because of price. 5 stars overall - it IS better than I imagined. Similar Products Used: Roksan Kandy, Sony SACD, AMC (all of them), Jolida tube cd players, Mid-fi stuff from Pioneer, Onkyo, Deno, etc, Marantz (please), etc. |

Heavy, build quality, styling, musicality
Weakness:
Very sensitive-can skip This unit is replacing an older EAD CD-1000. When I first hooked it up the sound was different but at first listen I couldn't tell right away if it was better. After A-B'ing the 2 players and settling in for some extended listening I gained some insight into the difference I was hearing. At first there seemed to be more detail from the EAD, as it had a brighter presentation of high frequencies. The Roksan, on the other hand, had a more relaxed top end but sounded truer to the music. I realized there were artifacts showing up from the EAD that produced a sheen to the music. With no comparison it just sounded like more detail than the Roksan. The Roksan, however, actually has more detail but without the top end glare. So much kinder on the ears and conducive to longer listening. Similar Products Used: EAD CD-1000 |
