In Stock products are those that are currently held in stock at our Oxfordshire warehouse. This stock status is updated regularly but is subject to change at very short notice.
Products that are Awaiting Stock are items that we would normally carry on stock at our Oxfordshire warehouse, but are currently unavailable. Chances are there is already more on the way, but if you would like a more accurate availability status please feel free to Contact Us.
Urgent order items are products that we do not normally carry on stock, but they are typically held on stock by our European suppliers. Depending on availability, we will seek to order these products quickly, when we have an enquiry. They can therefore be subject to quicker availability times than "Special Order" products.
Special Order items are those that are most often built to order. For these items, we tend to experience longer lead times as we negotiate them into the production line with our suppliers.
Exclusive products are sold only through one, or sometimes a very small number of dealers. As part of their commitment to the product’s exclusivity, they carry most of the available stock.

The Michi Prestige Q430 CD Player is crafted for listeners who cherish the ritual of physical media and the unmistakable sound quality only a premium CD player can deliver. Built upon Michi’s heritage of precision engineering, it features a high‑quality floating CD mechanism paired with an in‑house manufactured ultra‑quiet power supply. Multiple isolated voltage regulators minimise noise at the source, ensuring exceptionally low distortion so subtle musical details, ambience, and texture emerge effortlessly from silence.
At the core of the Q430 is a differential ESS SABRE ES9028PRO 8‑channel DAC configured for stereo operation, enhancing signal purity and guaranteeing faithful, transparent digital‑to‑analogue conversion. This optimised implementation offers remarkable separation, stable imaging, and an open, articulate soundstage with convincing depth and placement - especially evident in vocals, acoustic performances, and complex orchestrations.
Designed for seamless system integration, the Q430 offers both RCA single‑ended and fully balanced XLR outputs, ensuring optimal compatibility with a wide range of preamplifiers and integrated amplifiers. The front‑panel full‑colour TFT display showcases album artwork and detailed playback information, bringing your CD library to life. A precision‑milled aluminium chassis, exceptional build quality, and an elegant aluminium remote control further reinforce its purpose: a dedicated disc player engineered for performance, reliability, and long‑lasting enjoyment.
