Hi Alex.
I have a CD200 and I like it a lot.
It is not regarded very highly around here as it uses the TDA1540 which is a mono 14 bit DAC (actually it uses two
) and this particular player also uses an obscure hybrid board with SONY components - the so called SOPHI board - for ERCO.
I like the sound unmodded, its nealy as good as my other 'early player' a Meridian MCD (tweaked CD100).
Apart from the CDMO and lots of room it is not really a good base for extensive mods - at least the heavy duty stuff current around here.
No I2S, no SPDIF, no nothing you might recognise as'standard'. (this I'm gessing, as I'm not an electronic whizz, but I have my moments - this is second hand from discussion on this board (search broken)
I cannot comment on the other players you mention.
I'm about to start doing some mods on a 'new to me' twin CD200, and will compare improvemens (if any).
Cheers
Philippe
