“Playing the MQA encoded John Coltrane album, Ballads(UCCU-40111) demonstrates this CD player’s way with shape, pace and pattern, but it also demonstrates its note-to-note continuity and rhythmic agility.”
Never knowingly underwritten, Mr Gregory has produced not just one but three related pieces. The main review is as comprehensive as it is thorough and insightful – but there are separate articles to cover the D1.5’s set up/installation and MQA CD replay. After considerable experience with the player in all its various modes, he concludes:
“Playing the MQA encoded John Coltrane album, Ballads(UCCU-40111) demonstrates this CD player’s way with shape, pace and pattern, but it also demonstrates its note-to-note continuity and rhythmic agility.”
“Using the D1.5 in one, two, three, four and five box set-ups, I’ve been beguiled and impressed in equal parts… Which is perhaps the most telling observation of all. Whether you simply want a one-box disc player or the first step on the CH upgrade path, the D1.5 will meet your musical needs.
There’s a new one-box solution in town – and it sings!”
