The Arcam Solo comes to mind as perhaps the first truly aimed at audiophiles; but Denon, NAD, Music Hall, and Primare have all staked claims in this niche. The Denon RCD-CX1 more than holds its own; indeed, at my house it is the last unit standing after I spent several months with both an Arcam Solo and Music Hall Trio. The RCD-CX1 is voiced to sound a touch warm, but this departure from neutrality strikes me as being well-suited to a bedroom or office. It has enough power to drive many speakers, but I suspect it will sound best with small two-ways. I am using a pair of Arcam Altos, and I think they sound better with the RCD-CX1 than they did with the Solo. I have been very happy with the RCD-CX1 as it plays CDs, and the FM tuner works very well. My only complaint is that the AM tuner lacks sensitivity and even the strongest AM stations are usually beset by noise. I rarely listen to AM radio, so this has not proven a real problem for me. Even so, the lesser quality of AM reception cost this review a star in my rating here. Followup, October 19, 2009: I recently acquired a Kaito AN-200 Tunable Passive AM Antenna, which made a notable improvement in the AM reception and still offers the convenience of a relatively small indoor antenna. Customer Review 2 : Denon CD/amp - T. Richards - Absolutely incredible. This unit exceeds everything I've ever owned. I have a vintage Luxman and a 90's much larger Denon amp pushing a pair of Bowers & Wilkins. This amp has the warmnest of the Luxman and the clarity of the Denon in a much smaller package. Both of the others are huge. Very compact. Looks very refined and clean in my bookcase. CD/Integrated Amp- I highly recommend this. If it played DVDs,I could get rid of that too!
