![]() The C538 looks awfully similar to NAD players from 30 years ago, and that goes for the rear panel's connectivity offerings: just a set of stereo RCA analog output jacks, plus coaxial and optical digital audio outputs allowing connection to an external digital converter or AV receiver. Back then, NAD's sound was a cut above the other affordable players. I've always admired NAD's no frills budget players, starting when I was working as an audio salesman in the 1980s. It sells for $299 in the US and £249 in the UK. This new NAD, the C538 would be the one I'd buy, and mainly for its simplicity and build quality. Maybe that's why audiophiles are still seeking recommendations for CD players, especially affordable ones. ![]() It's funny, everywhere I turn I hear vinyl is back, but the CD format is still around, and dare I say it, there's a lot more new music coming out on CD than LP.
