If we take a look at the three digital playback formats most common today (CD, SACD and DVD-A/V), what would you consider the 3 top of the line options for each format.
My thoughts would be:
CD Zanden Model 2000P/5000S Burmester 069 Soulution Audio 740
SACD dCS Scarlatti Esoteric P-01VU/G-0Rb/D-01VU The upcoming Wadia 971/932/922
DVD-A/V Goldmund Eidos Reference MBL 1622A/1611F APL Hi-Fi NWO-3.0 GO SE |
