Excellent Unit

Pure audiophiles will delight at this unit. Not only is the sound better than most other units on the market thanks to Onkyo's solid technology, it also has a sturdy feel to it. When the tray drawer opens or swivels around, you will barely hear a sound or see a vibration. The gears are built to last, unlike some other flimsy cd players.

If you're looking for an "industrial strength" piece of audio equipment, this is the one. While other units may be more discrete or more aesthetically appealing, this unit gives me comfort for its reliability and full, deep sound.

If you're looking for something slim, I would recommend looking at a DVD player, perhaps one that can play DVD Audio or SACD. I have to say that is one limitation of this unit.
