Audio Alchemy DTi Pro 32 - Any Good?

Hey....
I have a AA DDS pro transport, with EAD 7000III into a CJ CAV50 integrated. I'm thinking of adding a AA DTI Pro 32 between transport and Dac, and maybe even replacing the EAD Dac with the AA vers 3.0 dac.
Does anyone have any experience with the DTI Pro 32?
I've read some really rave reviews about the Pro 32 particularly when used with the I2s cables, but there is no opportunity to demo this equipment, so I would have to take a gamble on buying from ebay or audiogon.

The AA DDS Pro and EAD combo are pretty good - how much better with the Pro 32 and V3 dac?

Help!

Thanks all for the feedback.

I guess based on your input I'm going to try and find a Pro 32 on ebay/audiogon and give it a whirl.

Thanks again for the solid advice.

Thanks Rja,

I take your point about AA reliability. I bought a new V3.0 Dac years ago and was back and forth to my dealer with problems, until I finally exchanged it for a Monarchy 18B.
I did finally buy the DTI Pro 32 and it actually powered up and locked fine, and has worked well for the 3 months that I've owned it. It has made a definate improvement to my system, more air, clarity, stage depth etc.

However, I'm still looking for ways of getting more out of digital, hopefully so I can drop the analog bug which is biting again.

Do you have any ideas on what would make a significant improvement on my EAD 7000III, with or without the DTI Pro?

I've thought about a Thete GenV, but figured it's from the same era as my EAD, so there are probably better options out there.
Would appreciate input from anyone passing through.
