I picked up a MCD500 on here years ago, it is an excellent CDP and not a re-badge. As I look to downsize the digital side of my system, I'm not sure I'd do it again, but it looks great, sounds excellent (even using the built-in DAC) and has top notch build quality. I have heard some Simaudio CDPs and really enjoyed them, if you plan on using an outboard DAC I'm not sure you'd hear a huge amount of difference, if any. The older I get, the cheaper I get so I'd keep my eyes peeled on the market here.
