Cary Audio Design Ships New CD-500 CD Player

 While the general CD market has diminished significantly, the need of audiophiles for a superb disc player has never been stronger. Disc-based systems may not be as convenient as digital files but formats like SACD provide truly great audio quality. Even CDs provide better sound quality than the compressed digital files that are most commonly available.
