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!

I have owned a 3.0 since new in 95 or so and it absolutely rocks. Having heard so much over the years about the DTI Pro a few months ago I decided to finally try it. Well, after 4 days of tweaking, coaxing, and cajoling, it only worked one time, and afterward not again. Last theory I was on was that the I2 cable was the wrong one for this combo. Give me a break.

I really wanted it to work but the frustration it caused reminded me of why I got out of separates, tweaks and HEA in the first place. That said, the 3.0 alone as is is a magnificently detailed, rythmic and musical piece. It works even with cheap older DVD players as well as newer and better stuff. At current prices, it is highway robbery.
