“I'm so glad that I was able to get one before they disappeared. Thank you Upscale Audio for having some in stock. The build quality is incredible, the SQ is amazing especially if you feed it an ultra clean USB signal. The SQ from this CD player is stunning. A burned copy of 'Keith Don't Go' sound like Nils was in my room playing! I A/B tested this DAC against a standalone $10K one and the RUBY was hands down better in overall SQ. Thanks you Ken, Evan and Jay for all your help with this purchase.”

“Exceptional build quality, very smooth & quite disc tray operation, DSD upsampling transforms CDs to sound more analog and less digital fatigue”

“Truly amazing CD player, it makes the burned 'Upscale Audio Masters Speaker Setup Disc' sound like it was a pressed copy. In fact I prefer the 'Keith Don't Go' on that disc from the Ruby vs Qobuz version using the USB on RUBY.”

“Well made. Extracts more information that is particularly noticeable on the low end. My last C.D. Player.”
