Musical Fidelity X-Ray v8 CD Player

The X-RAYv8 has extremely high technical performance, equal to that of almost any extremely expensive CD player. It might be worth your while to check the technical specifications of the X-RAYv8 compared to players at, say, three to five times its price. You'll see that most of them are not as technically accomplished as the X-RAYv8. Musical Fidelity believe that CD players can largely be summed up by their technical performance and almost everything else is snake oil. Because the X-RAYv8 has an external power supply (shared with the X-T100) it has that same extraordinary grain-free sweet sound quality.
