Jolida JD100...giant killer or all hype?

Ok guys, I am going to make an hour drive friday night to pick up one of these at my local dealer. Having read all the feedback here and at AA, it sounds as though this is THE cdp to own under 2K. Seeing as how vinyl is my primary software of choice, I am not looking for the digital holy grail. Just something that will better my soon to be gone Theta Data Basic II/Audionote DAC 1.1 combo. Any thoughts?

I have the Jolida JD100 and now have the Naim CD5i, and prefer the Naim. It's more than the Jolida, but within your 2K budget. It also now has RCA outs so it's easier to fit into systems. It's a warm, dynamic, detailed player. The Jolida is great too, but my preference is for the Naim.

I second Beavis' comments above, but also see if you can find some 5751 triple black mica tubes for it, or something better than the stock tubes. You can not be too picky here cause lots of the 5751 NOS tubes are hard to find.
