Review: Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center CD Player
Hi Everyone,i had Steve Huntley upgrade my Cantata in October and I agree with those who have given reviews here. I use both computer based music as well as CD’s and really can’t tell any difference from CD’s I have burned into my library. I can h... 
Replacement for RA Opus 21 CDP
I had a GNSC modified Opus 21 and upgraded to the Cantata and have never looked back. I was originally going to add the RA ExtraSource unit, but one listen to the Cantata made the decision easy. The only player I have heard that is better is a Wad...

Along with using the Marantz AV Preamp for the review I was surprised that the Ayre QB-9 was considered the standard for comparison. I have listened to Ayre, Esoteric, Macintosh, Audio Research, Bel Canto, and other players and have not heard a Pl... 
Resolution Audio - Cantata
I upgraded from a GNSC modded Opus 21 to a Cantata a couple months ago. I thought it would be difficult to substantially beat the sound of the Opus 21, but the Cantata does. The sound stage is deeper and more open, resolution is stunning without b...
