If you have never heard of Emotiva they make real professional level products with a 5 year limited warranty that offer super value. The Emotiva ERC-2 CD Reference Player is a professional level CD player complete with Two Balanced XLR outputs, XLR AES/EBU digital outputs, digital TOS Link, digital coaxial, and unbalanced outputs. One would expect to pay considerably more for a Reference CD Player, its a great value at only 449.00 not much more than many of the mid range consumer brands. With a 5 year warranty one saves on not needing to buy an extended warranty plan that a lot of the stores try to sell since many manufacturers of consumer grade audio products do not offer standard 5 year warranties.
