评级标准 A级：同类器材中能够实现的最佳声音，评定时将价格因素完全排除在外，“最接近完美的音质（音质上妥协最少）”。A级系统能够毫不费力地让你相信你所听到的是真实的声音。A+级专门针对SACD、24/96 DAD和DVD-Audio设立。它代表此器材类别中的最顶尖者。 B级：仅次于A级的器材，B级器材大多比A等级便宜，但绝大多数依然非常昂贵。 C级: 音效有所欠缺，但还是比一般家用器材的高保真性要好的多，性能可圈可点，且价格负担得起。 D级: 音质令人满意，但是在高保真或性能方面距离最佳尚有较大差距，比如动态范围较为有限。但是一款器材出现在D级并不意味着不受推荐，D级器材也可能组合出令人满意的系统 K级: 值得关注的器材。K级的器材往往是Stereophile尚未评测（或者评测尚未结束），但是有理由相信可能具有出色性能的器材。列入K级也是Stereophile的一种推荐形式，这些器材值得尝试。 符号涵义：1.$$$：代表该器材非常超值，性能远超价格预期。 2.☆：代表该器材曾在之前的榜单上出现过一次或两次。（比较少见。同一款器材的亮相机会一般不超过三次）CD、SACD、DVD-A播放机、媒体播放器A+Ayre Acoustics DX-5 “Universal A/V Engine”: $9950Ayre Acoustics C-5xeMP: $5950 ☆Boulder 1021: $24,000Bryston BDP-1: $2195Cary Audio Design CD-306 SACD Professional Version: $7995Cary Audio Design Classic CD-303T SACD Professional Version: $6495dCS Scarlatti: $79,996/system as revieweddCS Puccini: $17,999Luxman D-05: $5000Oppo BDP-95: $999 $$$Playback Designs MPS-5 Reference: $17,000Sony SCD-XA5400ES: $1499 $$$AAyre Acoustics CX-7eMP: $3500 ☆Bryston BCD-1: $3195Marantz SA-11S2 Reference: $2999.99 ☆McIntosh MCD500: $6500Meridian Sooloos Music Server System: $7000C$10,500 depending on options ☆PrimaLuna ProLogue Classic: $2999 ☆Resolution Audio Cantata Music Center: $6495Simaudio Moon Evolution 650D: $9000T+A Music Player: $4400BAudio Analogue Crescendo: $995Cambridge Audio Azur 650BD: $649Musical Fidelity M1CLiC: $1999Musical Fidelity M3CD: $1500Vincent Audio C-60: $4999CEmotiva ERC-2: $449Marantz CD5004: $349.99 $$$Music Hall cd15.2: $499NAD C 565BEE: $800Nuforce CDP-8: $1450Sony Playstation 1: around $25 used ☆ $$$DApple iPod classic, 160GB: $249 as reviewed ☆Head-Direct HiFiMan HM-602: $399NAD C 515BEE: $300KKrell Cipher.
