FS: Sheng Ya CD-S10 Tube CDP

[halo]

*SOLD*

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.

Anyone looking for a great sounding cdp, here's one right here.

-Built like a tank(about 20 lbs)
-Philips transport
-Burr-Brown 24/96 DAC
-Burr-Brown opamps(digital outout)
-Solen Caps
-6DJ8/6922/7308 output tube
-12AX7 power supply tube
-HDCD decoding

I have one and love it.

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

[ND13]

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.

[halo]

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

Thanks Noel :)

I took Halo's advise and bought one of these CD-S10's and it is the shiznit. Don't even hesitate.

A buddy of mine has this same unit. Sounds amazing. I can't remember what he paid for it so I can't say how great of a deal this is but regardless, it's a phenominal player for any amount of money IMO.

If I didn't just pick up the Consonance I would be all over this.

I've decided to part with my Shend 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. $425 + shipping. I gotta pay for the Von's I just ordered!

[ND13]

You'll really enjoy it, that is if you go thru with the transaction.

[Midnite Mick]

Whomever purchases it, be sure to provide a review.:D

Mike

[drew spelts]

yes, a review would be well accepted around here.

[halo]

Still available :)

[ND13]

I thought Crazy was taking it.

[faster100]

you thought wrong :D or it wouldnt be available..





(just messing wit ya) :)

[halo]

I thought Crazy was taking it.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 thought Crazy was taking it.

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

[RuSsMaN]

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)

[ND13]

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.

[RuSsMaN]

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

[schwarcw]

PM'ed, if it's still available, I'll take it.

[halo]

PM received. *SOLD*

[BSUfbfan]

Good move Carl, VERY good move.

Get us a review as soon as you have some "chair time".

[audiobliss]

Way to go schwarcw! Let us know how it sounds!

[ohskigod]

glad someone grabbed this, too good a player for a good price to let it get out of the family

[schwarcw]

Thanks guys! I'll give everyone some feedback after I get some good listen time with the unit. I'm looking forward to it!:D
