I have narrowed my CD player purchase down to these units and am trying to determine which one to get. I was originally thinking of purchasing the Shengya, but I am having second thoughts because I am hearing that the quality of the units has diminished from earlier production. I am now considering the BADA based upon what I have read so far and a used earlier Shengya if I can find one for sale. Does anyone have any input about these units, and has anyone compared the two? Thanks.

    If I were going to replace my CDP (currently a modded Bada HD-22), I'd probably get the HD-22SE. I change out gear frequently, but the Bada has remained in my system longer than any other component -- about 4 years.

    I have not heard the Shengya, but I had a Bada and it's a great player; at some point I had the Bada and a Jolida, and preferred the Bada.
