Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Seems you didn't read JM's review from 2014

" With the CD-200 used as a transport for the Bricasti M1 DAC (a Follow-Up is in the works), Sleeping Gypsy sounded perfectly acceptable-just great. Nothing at all to complain about. However, when I played the same disc in the Parasound Halo CD1, a read-until-right, computer-based player-transport, the improvements were immediately audible. The music was more present, with greater resolution of fine details. The music was also more continuous. I heard more of Franks's breathing and vocal articulation. The soundstage was wider and higher. The dubbed-in strings were airier and more dynamic.

All of that, as far as I'm concerned, justifies the Parasound's price of $4500. But neither does it deny the TASCAM CD-200 {$220} its place in the sun. For people who want a dead-quiet, industrial-quality, reliable disc-spinner CD transport for not much money at all, the CD-200 is a bargain . "
