Nice video. Interesting take on the Mojo2. People criticise the UI and appearance of Chord products, but the steampunk styling appeals to me personally. The style also reminds me of the products of the British motorcar industry, like TVR, Bristol, Lotus, Noble etc. It is a refreshing change from the, imo, bling black boxes with blurry displays. I found the Mojo2 to be preferable over the Glare of the ESS saber dacs in my audiolab amp, audioquest dragonfly cobalt, cambridge audio streamer. I also found the Mojo2 to be warmer, but not as incisive as the Chord Qutest that the chord experience led me to purchase. I am not an audiophile btw. The Qutest takes over the "main system" duty of the Mojo. No regrets that I got the Mojo2/Poly combo.

Hello, I am currently using my vintage Marantz as a pre-amp, connected to an Emotiva amplifier. Planning on getting the Topping as a DAC. Do you think i should also use it as a pre amp, or leave it the way I have it now? I also have a turntable playing thru the Marantz

It looks like crap and probebly sounds like crap

Ciao.... mi hai dato una bella ispirazione per realizzare il mio porta elettroniche

Just got mine setup and on the first CD its immediately apparent This is a vary pleasant sounding CD player a bit warmer and fuller sounding then my last rotel cd player at least in my system

What label is the cd on

I bought mine in 2019 at the regular price and I don't regret buying them and do love them..Amp is ayima a07 that I run like a pre with full volume and adjust listening volume with an smsl c200 dac amp. I am wanting to add a sub though and looking at power tube amps to tame the kind of higher sounding tweeters..I found your video looking at tube amp and rp600m pairings...very good video!

Is that an e30 on its side? I have one and it was a replacement for a DAC IT x that died which was a replacement for my ancient Audio Alchemy stuff. I’m seriously considering the Socketted version with the 4499 and Sparkos.

I purchased this player about an month ago as part of a "rediscover my CD collection" thing. Been enjoying immensely.

Hello, "Laser Focused Imaging" is a preference, not a mandate. In fact, my system is built with the exact opposite sound signature in mind & practice. Acid Jazz, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊

Most cassette decks need full serviicing and retuning by now. Done so the 480 is one hell of a deck albeit and entry level Nakamichi. I collect Nakamichi decks and still looking for more. To date only managed to acquire one each: BX125, BX150, BX300, CR7, ZX9, RX505, 680zx and two: 480 decks one black one silver. Ok re the 480. It’s the best basic 2 head Nakamichi ever. Because it shares the classic Nakamichi dual capstan transport and uses the pad lifter on the head. The heads are also made in house by Nakamichi. The main necessary electronics are also top notch sharing the best circuits with the higher end Nakamichi. Nothing was spared within it’s basic specs. Missing is Dolby C which generally one does not need as all commercially prerecorded tapes if Dolby encoded need only Dolby B to playback. For recording Dolby B is very good for ferrics. I find Dolby C a little over boost in the lower treble with any deck. With type ii and metal you don’t need Dolby as all Nakamichis can record at high levels with no distortion. Yes the 480 has no user tape recording calibration like higher end Nakamichis. But you can calibrate any blank tape inside using 400hz and 15khz test tones and comparing the db levels using an oscilloscope or a computer sound level apps to match source and recording. A bit of work since you cannot monitor but after a few recordings and checking results you’re good to go. You’ll be amazed how good it can record as did l. I pre-calibrated mine to TDK AD, SA and MA as l have lots of these. Of course nowadays since acquiring the CR7 and ZX9 my recordings are done on these.

Thank you for the clear review. I now use a Sabaj headphone amp as preamp, but consider getting a “real” preamp. Does anyone know the range of the remote? I need 5+ meters (17 feet).

I’m running emotiva basx A2m AB amp and the rp600m sound amazing. Lots of headroom and doesn’t sound bright at all. This tiny amp puts out some amazing bass.

Are complaints about the player not playing toward the end of longer CDs true? It just stops playing? Also, does this player have gapless playback?

Oh so this is how all those pushed in tweeters happen...

I heard some Klipsch speakers with copper woofers and large square horn tweeters at an audio show. It sounded like fire coming out of the tweeters. Unbearably steely and irritating.

I have the EL 34 amp, and I run Paradigm speakers. I have wanted to try different speakers with it. Thank you for this video.

Is it high current?

I wonder if how/whether the CD11MII improves on the 11 Tribute

This is a great review comparing a bunch of budget disc players. Thanks!

Did you try using it in passive mode in the chain connected to a tube preamp. My idea is DAC - >schitt saga in passive-> tube pre - > power amp. This way you get a remote with the tube.

Thanks for the rundown! I have a Vidar 2, Kara preamp, and Skoll phono stage on the way to replace my Yamaha A-S301. I’m hoping it’s a noticeable upgrade.

Have you heard Miles Davis kind of blue it's a great record for sound.

Schiit. It's in the name.

Hi! Sorry for the silly question. I listen to music and movies via my laptop. I sometimes use Fxall as an equalizer in my laptop. This is routes to a basic DAC then a NAD or a Marantz 1601 depending on my mood ;) and a good pair of speakers. Would this dac make a difference for my type of setup which is not really/pure audiophile? Thank you!

Hello from Australia. I own a fully integrated PrimaLuna Valve or Toob amplifier as you guys say it. Its running 6 12AU7s in the pre-amp stage and 8 KT120 Valves in the power end of things. While I found the EL34s pleasing enough, it did need a bit more grunt. There are 2 switches on the right side hand side to select either a HP or LS (Headphone or Loud Speaker) and another switch to select EL OR KT valves and as the amp has adaptive auto bias, it was great not to get the multimeter out like I did 7 years ago. Having a selector switch for headphones was a great idea as I've never been fond of plugging in headphones and expecting that socket to choose between the speakers and cans. I would have gone with 8 KT150s but those valves are too tall to allow the cage to to fit properly and as bandwidth is what you have to worry about, the KT120s are fine. The 6 12AU7s are so quiet it was ridiculous to valve roll except for some Sylvania tubes which were, for a NOS tube didn't make any difference and at $600 dollars for them, I couldn't justify the expense. The switch on the left side was a dedicated power switch and even though there is a remote control, I'm quite happy to shut the amplifier off by hand. The remote is heavy and the whole amplifier is point to point quality. I love it. Google the company. It really is a great piece of kit. Cheers Andrew.

I root for the little Schiit Saga S all the time. It is the choice for a hobbyists first system to build around. Try and find a better volume control anywhere for $299. Reggae, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊

I tried to love it. Sounded detailed and engaging until it was annoying and irritating. I couldn’t listen to it for any longer than 15 minutes without getting a headache and fatigue. Oh well, not a good fit with my system but I am sure it is fine for most.

Hey Nadir. I just bought the Topping E30 lite, i’ve been trying to get this to work with no success. I thought that Dac were just for laptops until i seen ur video. I’m using an ipad as my player going into a marantz SR-4023 with i have a ADC EQ and a Yamaha MX-600 u main amp. If you happen to see what i wrote any advice would much be appreciated cheers.

I found the Vidar sounded very thin with little energy in the bottom end on my Tekton Moabs.

such a nice receiver

Do you know if the Rotel A11 has gapless playback with programmed consecutive tracks? I like to listen to specific parts of CDs and if these programmed sections happen to have tracks that segue into one another without interruption, ie. classical music, gapless playback becomes very important. One way to do a quick test is program a couple of consecutive tracks from a live recording and listen for the sound to break up in the applause between songs.

I made the mistake of buying the Rotel CD11 player. Problems with it by the end of the first week. It steered me away from ever buying a Rotel product again.

excelente tengo una igual en color negro

Is the setup -Kefs -Reisong a10-Topping e30-streaming through music files/tv? Do you suggest the Wiim Pro as a good addition to that chain? Great music selection as always!

Hello, i’m looking at purchasing this actual model close to me here in Canada and I assume you attach your turntable to this box inputs, the turntables ground to the boxs ground and then the output does it go back into the phono of the receiver or does it have to go to an auxiliary? I have a real to reel, tape deck a CD player I just want to make sure or not going to run out of inputs. My receiver is the Marantz 2220 .

I made a mistsake , i bought the PCB instead of the PTP version.But rhe sound is awsome for the price 👍

great review. thanks

Hi, are both the a and b outputs functional at the same time? So lets say the A set can go to an amp and the B set can run down to a subwoofer? Thanks appreciate it

I'm using a Technics SU Z 25 phono stage to drive my NAD. Have been wondering about a Pro-ject. The Behringer is out of the race after a ho hum review and recommendations to fix.

the LCD is ugly as f.

Your watch matches that deck perfectly. Those where good days 👍

I hope you meant to say 60 seconds for warm up and not 60 minutes. Why would ICs need a warm up time?

Is the Sparkos SS3602 opamp upgrade worth it?

I think that the most direct competitor to the CD11 is the Emotiva ERC-4.

Ken actually did make changes in the CD11 circuitry.

Can you play cd-r or cd-rw or mp3 formats?

Can you please tell me how to switch between A and B outputs😊

Hi can you do me a favour and tell me if the Rotel CD11 Tribute CDplayer does a program play?, I really fancy the player but a lot of modern players don't seem to have that capability and its something that I want on a player, If it does have program play I will buy one, Thanks in advance if you are nice enough to reply.

Passing through the tv, aren’t you limited to 48kHz?
