Well the first thing about cdp is d pickup mechanism and dac.

The pickup mechanism is about stability in reading the cd

Dac is crucial for d conversion of digital to analog which dictates how it sounds overall

Good dacs impact the sound greatly

Valve outputs just adds the tubish sound into the music with the intention if making it sound more analog

Good solid state pre output sometimes sound better than tubes

Marantz KI edition is an example of a well built sounding cdp

Thanks for the info, maybe ill just go with Marantz first.

Would be good if the owner allows you to open the top casing cover to check d components.
Just need to ensure it has not been repaired badly....
In some cases d repair and restoration works are better with better caps and components

Do test left and right balance....make sure d sound is balance

Then check for cracking sounds from d speaker when u turn the volume up and down.....

Test all inputs

Power the volume to 11oclock or even half just to see if there are any heat issues

If all test pass...good to go mate

Thanks bro,will test everything when my amp come.
Anyway I bought Cayin MT-35 mk2 amp
