The compact CD-7 was always very musical.
This is a custom-built one-off Gold Note supplied to me with upgrades from the top of the range Favard including its Burr Brown PCM 1792A DAC, components of its power supply including the power regulator and OP as well as the Clock.
The idea being to have a really compact CD player of superior quality.
