A dinky new cdp from SMSL. If that were a transport with digital out, I'd pick one up so that I could occasionally play my CDs. |

If I had £600 to squander, it might go on one of these, Martin. Available on eBay.

Ooh, that looks nice too!
Mind you, I don't want to spend a lot on it, playing CDs is just for nostalgia and some discs that are not on streaming. In all other respects, Qobuz leaves CDs for dead.

Did anybody else notice the labels on the cassettes? Indeed. Will they come with a free pencil? |

The whole thing is created with 3D imaging software, and it looks like somebody applied the image files for the cassette textures arse-about-face. It's quite easy to do. Well, it is if you're an amateur like me.  |

I meant that they're mirror images, rather then being the correct way round. I know, but I thought it might be deliberate? Avoiding a complaint from Sony? |

Generally speaking I quite like McIntosh's aesthetics, but those displays are just stupid big.
