Excellent Sounding CD Player
I just got my CD200 and wanted to write a much more in depth review then most have, to really give the end user some info about this machine in use.
I have to say I really do like how this player sounds, Note to anyone that for some reason may think this is a recorder, it is in fact a player and has only outputs. If a player is what you are looking for please continue reading my review.
All testing was done on my set of Energy Monitors made in Canada, a Carver M500t, and a Classic Urei 1620 as the mixer preamp set completely flat. This should give you a good idea of the sound to expect.
Lets get right to the sound, so how does this player sound, I would have to say it has a very smooth high end with a really punchy well defined mid and bottom. The D/A Converter in this machine sounds nice and clean. Very similar to what I loved about my classic Natural Sound Yamaha's and that I have not found in other machines.
Even recordings that sound...
Rock solid, completely silent, high quality
I purchased this CD player primarily because of it's excellent transport, but I am so pleased to report that the entire unit is "pro quality" as advertised. Very well built and nicely finished; all controls function smoothly with a solid, high-quality feel. The internal transport is indeed top shelf - totally silent and perfectly accurate. I am utilizing the coax digital output from this CDP to my external DAC, but I've found that the internal DAC in the CD-200 is also of high quality. I have no idea whose DAC chip Tascam used in this CDP, but they picked a good one. Unbelievably high value item!!!
A great Player of many Disc's
Excellent Music player. It plays all of my CD's and Some recorded CD-RW's I made.
I hooked it up with the Optical output to my Receiver and the audio quality is High quality.
