Strengths:    Clarity, soundstage, ease of listening, bass, vocal depth, solidity of build (like a tank), great looking.

Weaknesses:    Looses a bit of air to tubed units, but has much more of a tubed, than solid state, feel to the sound.

Bottom Line:   
This UDP-1 came to me virtually brand new. The sound is between tube and solid state. The portrayal of images, space,a nd easxe are the best I ahve ever heard in my sytem. THe UDP-1 sets a wide and deep soundstage, with each voice or instrument precisely (but not artificially) set out in the recording space. I have never felt so relaxed or
invited while listening to digital. Ii miss a bit of air that I give up from my
ModWright tubed Philips SA1000, but the McCormack does absolute magic with CD's and HiRez discs!
