Summary:
at first site the CD-38 looks a little simple and not very much promising. but none of that is true. it is indeed a CD-player with not very much functions. but be fair, sound is more important than a lot of buttons. I myself don't give much about extensive programming functions and other "very interesting functions" i just flip in the CD and press play, all you need. the sound is absolutely great!it gives good sound for not to much money. so for people looking for just a good CD-player the CD-38 is absolutely recommanded. for people looking for a lot of buttons and gadgets, I cannot recommand this one.
