Cayin CD50-T Anybody audition or own this?

Got mine since yesterday - can only confirm Thrusty's enthusiasm re sound (Jazz, Classic) and ease of tube doctoring. AMV unfortunately not easy to get here (Germany), but will try EH. Anyway, a real positive surprise in this price class.

I can also confirm the superior sound of SACDs on the player. Since SACDs hardly come with HDCD but rather ordinary 16bit CD layers, what could be an explanation here?

Cheers,
Achim

I absolutely love this CDP, for the price its simply unbelievable. I'm embarrased to say that it outclasses my analog setup (Project 9.1, Slee Era Gold Mk V, Dyna 10X5). I'm using the stock tubes and can't imagine it improving by much, but look forward to some rolling. Build quality is also typical Cayin, tank like. Heavy and thick brushed aluminum faceplate and heavy gauge steel case painted with a very nice reflective (auto like) paint.

I had the SCD 50T and it was a very nice player.Built very well.

Now I'm really interested in rolling some tubes for this CDP. Does anyone know where I can get some AWV 12au7 tubes, they seem to be rare? Are the ECC82 compatible?

same question for me. Have been sesearching on line for a while, but still no clues for the AWV 12au7a tubes
