In Stereophile the No 37’s design is noted for repositioning the crystal oscillator at the output stage (rather than near the laser), thereby reducing mechanically- and electrically-induced jitter. Stereophile+1
User comments on AudioReview.com highlight this transport’s “rock-solid, ultra-low jitter” performance when paired with a high-end DAC — the evaluator reported a noticeably cleaner signal path than many CD players. Audio Review
On Audio Science Review (ASR) the No 360S is described by a long-term owner as having served reliably for decades, using custom Burr-Brown PCM1704-based architecture, and remains highly regarded—even though USB/modern inputs were not provided. Audio Science Review
According to TasteForAudio the No 360S offers “unparalleled performance … thanks to upgraded components and advanced circuit technology” when compared to its predecessor, with the “S” version being the top tier in the series. Taste for Audio
