Battleship build quality and a smooth operator. CDs yielded finely detailed staging and audio performance. Even the most raucous music is well-harnessed and nicely rendered. SACD performance was smooth and detailed, almost creamy

Yamaha CD-S1000

By (whathifi.com)

Bettered by some for sheer impact ; not without competition at this level

Yamaha CD-S1000

By Mr Blu (whathifi.com)

With the CD-S1000 you don't repeat the criticism of poor rhythm handling levelled at the S-2000. Is this fault absent or more marginal with the junior player, or did you think it not worth mentioning at the lower price level?
