Consonance 2.2 Linear

"There are those who feel the Reference 2.2 Linear excels its baby brother the CD 120 Linear in all areas. Do not count me among them. Both players (and I am not being paid to say this- trust me) are absolutely superb examples of value-for-dollar sonics and style and I for one could live happily with either. The two Consonance players bracket my Lector in terms of price, if not quite in terms of sonic temperament, with the 120 almost managing to sound like the twice-as-pricey Lector minus a touch of mid-bass emphasis (pleasing though it is!) and with perhaps a shade more dynamic punch. The 2.2 on the other hand, steps it up a notch as compared with the other two players in terms of detail, pace, macro dynamics and soundstage width. It is also more solidly built than the 120 Linear with more luxurious ergonomics.
I think it goes without saying that if you’re in the market, the 2.2 is a player I would strongly recommend you consider adding to your own little music box collection. Then again, I would also strongly recommend you consider its little brother, and not just if you’re less thick in the wallet. The 120 and the 2.2 make different musical arguments to be sure, though both speak eloquently." - Stereotimes
"In fact, an argument can be made that, over its full range of products, Opera Consonance provides the best value for money on the market.
The sound of the Consonance Reference CD-2.2 Linear CD player ($2000 USD) was exactly as described in a recent review: tuneful, well-textured, and devoid of deep bass. I complained of the last to the good folks at Opera, and a few weeks later they suggested I double up on a couple of key capacitors for better bass. Voilà! The now-full-bodied Reference CD-2.2 held its own against Opera’s mighty Droplet CDP5.0 CD player, which has swept honors from Moscow to London." - SoundStageAV.com
