domho8 Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Read this month's Stereophile issue on this player under Sam's Space column. Interesting. By the way anyone heard this CDP before. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khooktd Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Nope. Care to share wat's unique about this CDP that caught your interest. At first read Fog as Frog and wondering wat has a frog got to do with Audio. ;D BTW, did u subscribe to Stereophile or bought off the shelf? Mine is always delivered very late. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem to be routed through some distribution center in Europe. I was referring to the June copy. Will have to wait long long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chowbotak Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 ok, back to the cairn fog... ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khooktd Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 This is what i gathered so far from its website. don't read French so its gasak gasak. Cairn is a brand from France. The cdp has a 24bit/192khz D/A. Local distributor is Norman Audio. Why not call them/go down and see if they have any for audition.

Guest jonlee Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 The Fog is upgradeable. The basis ic 24/44.1, can upgrade to 24/96 or 24/192. The 24/192 was present at my place when I held a CDP powwow last time. Those who were there will remember roughly how the CDP sound like. Personally, I will prefer the YBA CD Complete over the Fog, both available at Norman Audio. i think one of our forumers, kzone, is using the cairn cdp.

Luv4nature Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Think you're referring to the Audio Refinement CD Complete and not YBA. Right? The entry level YBA CDP is the CD Special, next comes the CD Integre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jonlee Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 yup...audio refinement...made by YBA...sama sama.... :) Think you're referring to the Audio Refinement CD Complete and not YBA. Right?

Luv4nature Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 It appeared that way. Some internal parts of the components and the remote are actually YBA. However, I've read from a chinese hifi magazine and found that AR is actually designed made by a different company in Taiwan, and the boss of this Taiwan company is very closely associated with YBA, thus, they co-operated to market the AR products as entry level YBA products. So AR is sharing the YBA name, but atually not YBA. Having said that, AR products do carry some shades of the YBA sound ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
