As a fan of understatement, I particularly like devices like the CDBox DS3. It's good when it's easy on the wallet, too. Although the CD player radiates a certain solidity, not a cent was wasted on a poser look. Here you get maximum sound quality at a good price.

So inconspicuous, so good: pretty, affordable CD player with basic equipment and very good sound. Not only interesting for the small second system.
