SMSL PL100.

Does anyone here have any experience with this little disk spinner? If so I'd like to know what your thoughts were/are on it. Thanks

    Okay so here's a little back story since nobodies asking (lol). I was recently promoted (Couple of weeks ago). Most of my responsibilities will be the same but the new roll gains a few more. Some include data processing/entry. I will be preforming these tasks in our shared office. So naturally I'm thinking about assembling an office rig B) . I already have an extra integrated (Dayton Audio Pro) and a pair of speakers the DA B65s. Being that these components are around ~100-150$. I figured that's where I'd put the budget for the CD player.

    SMSL makes great DACs and small form factor amps. Not sure I'd want to buy a CD player from them, especially not a slot loader. At this point, rip the music to a drive and stream to a desktop DAC/Amp setup.
    (Slot loaders are notorious for scratching discs when they malfunction)

    Note: this is in the Going Digital section, which is typically about creating a digital library, not physical media.

    Thanks for the information, I'll take this into consideration "Slot loaders are notorious for scratching discs when they malfunction".
