from audio store Summary:
this is a 2007 model.really good cd player, was using onkyo 6 cd changer before getting this which is not a bad cd changer, upon changing to the 525, you immediately notice better quality sound, clearer, tighter bass and a lot more of it, you also hear a lot of detail that was not present before, everything on the cd player works fine, the cd tray seems well built, solid and works really fast. I also tried the 545 and with my system (nad c 372 integrated and paradigm studio 100's v 4, which are the nicest sounding speakers in the world btw.) i couldn't tell the difference, so for value vs. $, the 525 was the way to go for me, if you have a higher end system, then you might appreciate what the 545 is capable of delivering, for me, the 525 was perfect. Really good clean tight cd player. Strengths:
lots of tight, well controlled and defined bass, clean uncolored representation, good separation, price, value, over all sound balanced, non-fatiguing, clear, can be controlled with nad remote of a nad preamp or integrated. Weaknesses:
none really, i realize there must be better cd players in the world but unless you have a system that can bring out the extra detail, separation, soundstage etc. these units are capable of offering, the 525 is the way to go, i believe the differences of a better cd player including the 545 are minimmal, and most people would not hear the difference in a blindfold test.
