I've decided to part with my Sheng Ya since I also have the Kavent (same player - I don't need both). Plenty of threads discussing this CDP - do a search for Sheng Ya. $OLD to schwarcw.
Audio: Polk S15 * Polk S35 * Polk S10 * SVS SB-1000 Pro
HT: Samsung QN90B * Marantz NR1510 * Panasonic DMP-BDT220 * Roku Ultra LT * APC H10

    Is the sheng Ya better than the Rotel 1070? I have heared that the 1070 is better....... Very tempting.

    I've never heard the Rotel, but I'd have hard time believing it would sound better than the CD-S10 without an external dac.

    NO comparison. The Sheng Ya anihilates the 1070. I had a 1070 so I speak from experience.

    Thanks Noel :)

    Nope. Back up for grabs.

    You guys that are asking for reviews just need to use the Search function. Enter "Sheng Ya" (without the quotes) and you will get a ton of info and reviews.

    This is a phenomenal CDP (especially at this price). Tube rolling costs are cut in half thanks to the design - no need for matched pairs of tubes.

    Solid build quality.

    I was really interested but I need to get my Paypal account stocked up ... running a bit low at this point. That's why I need to find a buyer for my Onkyo/ Polks ... or you guys buy my CD :D

    But the good thing is that my b'day is coming up - that's why the search for a sub-$1K CDP

    Solid build quality. Take a look at these pics - Sheng Ya's innards vs. Jolida's innards.

    Ok, so the Sheng Ya has a tube buffer (essentially) on the output, and the Jolida has no op-amps in sight, and is totally discrete? Looks like the Jolida has a couple stages in it's power supply also. The Torroid is a nice touch on the SY, not needed, but a nice touch nonetheless. What again are we looking for?

    Cheers,
    Russ

    (PS speaking out loud, no hazing/harm intended. The player offered is priced more than fair, and has more than one reputable review giving it props - gotta be PC here, hence I get banned)

    Nobody is saying that the CD-S10 is a better player than the JoLida, just that at less than half the price, one gets a very well built/designed, tubed cdp that utilizes quality components. If I recall correctly, the opamps are for the digital output.

    Anyways, the SY has been compared to the Ah!, with upsampler, by SCompRacer, whom's opinion I respect, and did quite favorably.

    That's cool, just the reference to 'build quality', I didn't know what exactly he wanted us to see.

    Pretty much what I was getting at. No dissing of Jolida intended. Oh, and this is the player Rich used in the comparison ;)
