Muse 9 CDP the best CD I ever have heard

Just gor my new Muse 9 signature CDP. WOw what a incredible good sound. I dint thinbk that you could get so good sond from old redbook CDs. The resolution and prrsentation of microdetail is faboulus, The sound is so musical and utterly refined easily outperforming Wadia 860ix previosly the best in my system, I havent heard enough of 2496 CDs yet to comment on that sound. But at below 4000 dollars I think its a steal!! Anyone else who have heard this CDP?

Im building a high resolution system around the Audio Artistry Dvorak speaker. Its an incredible good speaker, much underrated, with Silversmith cables (triwired-very expensive but worth it). I use Rowland model 2 amp for the main panel and looking for one more used to drive the subs. Dolphin whats your opinion on 2496 DAD capability? My intinal findings is that the 9 is so good at redbook Cds that 2496 is only marginal better.

Nobeige I agree partly that the 9 looks are not so good. The wadia at twice the price has much nicher looks, but I rather have the 9 since its so much better that the Wadia. To Dkuipers The Audio Artistry speaker needs 2 exacltly same amps to sound the best ( the activ xover divides at the critical 100 hz) or 2 amps that sounds the same. I dont know if bigger Rowland amps sound the same as the model 2 exept for bigger power reserve?

I have not heard the Linn in my own system but in an all Linn system with their biggest amps, Klimax?, biamping their biggest speakers. The sound from my system was clearly superior.The most apperant was the more resolution and "airness" in my system while the Linn sounded somewhat closed in. That dont rule out of course that the CD 12 in my system would perhaps sound ever better than my Muse.
