While I think the dCS Elgar is an excellent piece, ultimately my preference in my system was and still is the Audio Logic 2400. I felt the AL to be more alive sounding and dimensional, the Elgar a little restrained in comparison. You're really talking about personal biases here, though, all of the units mentioned in this thread offer superior sound. However, I think the Purcell is the best upsampler/filter combination/whatever you want to call it I've heard and the best improvement to 16/44 CD out there right now. I can listen to Cds without it, but I can't get near the musical and emotional involvement that I get with it in my system. I have and greatly enjoy vinyl and SACD, and the Purcell makes CD much more competitive with those setups, particularly with respect to harmonics, dynamics and reduced harshness at higher listening levels. I've had mine for a year and a half and don't ever regret getting it.
