AFAIK, some ppl say that eclipse can't play pirated/pasar malam cd is because the eclipse can pick up and reproduce the imperfections introduced during production. don't expect those disc to be properly mastered. i've heard some really bad pirated disc although i use an entry level player. the sound is really horrible. a self-burned disc using MP3 ripped at 128k from original disc and then converted back to cd-audio format is years better than those horribly mastered discs.
if the cd is properly mastered, the eclipse is supposed to be a pleasure to listen to
