We often see Asylum folks looking to replace their broken down (or failing) high-end $1000 dollar and up CD players. The sub- $1000 SMSL CDP seems like a low risk bargain in terms of pricing and it might just sound pretty good. And you get a nice DAC should you decide to couple it to a streamer or music server.
If I were in the market for a CDP (I'm not) I would consider it especially with Amazon's generous return policy.
