A new review of the CDP-202 comes from the August issue of Hi-Fi News Magazine. I think the article does a commendable job in capturing the real essence of the player. A few excerpts are provided below.
A few remarks about DVD-A discs are included and I think the author was spot on with them.
"I anticipated the very solid-state/digital malaise that keeps me wedded to analogue valves 'n' vinyl. The CDP-202 was having none of it, immediately demonstrating a top-end free of fatigue-inducing nasties."
"What the overall effect boils down to is impressive presence, especially the rich lower registers, held in check by beautiful tonal balance. No part of the sonic landscape dominates - at least not so you'd notice it to the point of annoyance. This component seems to have been voiced by someone who loves natural sounds especially vocals and unplugged instruments."
