I have been led to believe both by manufacturer's information and audio
magazines that the least expensive CD player to incorporate the new chipset
is the CDP-102.  The CDP-30 and the D-5 both use brick wall filters and a less
integrated chipset that is not single-master clock.  The drive mechanism in
the D-5 is similar to the CDP-102's.

There is no portable unit from Sony with the Unilinear Chipset. Buyer Beware!
