How is the sound quality null

I don't know how discerning a music person you are but I've been listening to music with hi-fi equipment for many years and using cd players since 1985 starting with a Sony model that was around $600 then. I have to say that this cd player with a built in DAC and price point is the best sounding player in it's class. The USB feature is especially nice to play a lot of music I downloaded from my large cd collection.Just make sure you upgrade the firmware from Yamaha's website to a blank USB drive and install on the cd player. I believe its the 1.53 version. Depending on the amp and speakers you are using you can tweak the sound with your tone controls. Sound can depend on how the music cd was produced in the sound studio so each cd may sound more detailed and louder than others that are older and not as detailed. Hope this helps some. Yamaha makes great equipment. I have been a fan since 1980.

I really like the Yamaha sound quality. For the price, it sounds very clean with no distortion. Full disclosure - I am not an audiophile but am Old School with an old Harman/Kardon receiver and JBL speakers. I have also used the CD player with small, powered Audioengine speakers in the bedroom; it sounds very good. Of course, the smaller speakers do not have booming base, but the sound is pure.
