'LOVE IT!!!!'
Strengths:
It just sounds great, listening to Jazz, Classical, Heavy Rock, Dance anytype of music.
Weaknesses:
The cd tray is a little weak.
Overall:
I have lived with the cd player for 18 months which is matched to the NAD C352 amp. I'm still in love with the player and still discovering new notes on beloved tracks. You won't be disappointed...Honest

'SUPERB ENTRY LEVEL PLAYER'
Strengths:
For the money this is one of the finest cd players about.
Weaknesses:
At this cost not much to note...
Overall:
This is one of the leading cd players in this price bracket and its not hard to "hear" why. It may not look much but the moneys been spent where it counts. If your limit is upto £350 this should be on your short list.
