Looks very much like a Reimyo CDP-777 Redbook CD player with integral DAC. The JVC "K2" transport can be used with an external DAC, as in this case.

I owned one (2004 -2009).

I am a UK-based dCS Vivaldi full-stack owner and have had my Apex-upgraded Vivaldi DAC back in the system for just over three weeks.

I have about 100 hours on the clock now and can report that it...

I am a UK owner of the Momentum HD preamp and Momentum S250 MxV stereo power amp.

I bought them from a UK dealer in March this year as part of what I consider a very good deal. The HD preamp's...

Fantastic system and great care and attention paid to ancillaries and the routing of cables.

I thought that it as a brief, but accurate appraisal of the GAT2 by Jacob. I commented about the description of the tube compliment on the Absolute Sound website.

I'm not sure which subwoofer manufacturer first used speaker (high) level connection from the power amp to the sub, but my first REL Stadium subwoofer, purchased in 1992, advocated this as the...

It's just started on this side of the pond. I have recorded episodes 1 & 2 and will watch them with eager anticipation.

As a student of American history, I particularly enjoyed Ken Burn's previous...

You can't really see the REL sub in the picture above. It's on the right hand side of the room, in the corner behind the speaker.

The REL Gibraltar G2 has a 10" woven driver, not dissimilar to the...

Thanks Joe.

Tube preamp, although strictly speaking, my CJ GAT Series 2 could also be described as a hybrid design, utilising only a pair of 7DJ8 tubes in the gain stage.

Now in my 60's, I am a firm disciple of the digital camp, preferring to spin silver discs than vinyl albums for much of the time.

Because I have a large record collection and many LP's collected...

"mummy speakers?"

As a UK owner of GAT 2 and Premier 350SA amps, this is good news for the future support of CJ products.

I have corresponded with Jeff on several matters via email and he has always been prompt and...

It's a good size for a get-together with my UK Hi Fi forum friends!

I learned years ago, that locating racks full of gear between the speakers, screwed with stereo imaging!

When I bought my current (and last) home four years ago, I was faced with a number...

Thanks Joe.

The build quality of TAD speakers is amazing and they look amazing.

They are a big hit with the wife, because, in her words, "they match the curtains!"

Without wishing to offend...

I have absolutely no experience with Vivid Audio speakers so cannot comment.

I do love my TAD CR-1's though, which replaced eight years of Avalon use in my system.

They do like a lot of...

I recently borrowed six of the Aperture panels from my dealer and invited some mates over for a listening and evaluation session.

We all agreed that the "best bang for your buck" was two panels...

Stillpoints all the way for me!

As my "box-count" has increased, I needed a second ESS rack. The entire system is "floated" with Ultra 6 X 4 under the power amp (on a Component Stand) Ultra 5's...

There are only two Philips PCC88's in my CJ GAT2, but the UK importer/distributor recommends listening without the supplied damping rings in situ.

It's subtle, but I agree with his advice!
