I tried the A3 24 with my Parasound CDP2000 Ultra belt-drive CD player. It didn't change a thing. We let it break-in for plenty of time. I gave it to my friend who has the Perpetual Technologies rig and he didn't hear any difference from just using straight CD. I tried his Perpetual rig and heard close to what I was hearing when I had my Cal Audio CL20 playing DAD's at 20/96.
So, I put the A3 24 back into my system and tried to work with it. I then ran my CDP straight into the pre amp only to hear that the CDP was doing a pretty damn good job.
Like I said, the MF rig was no big deal for me. Your mileage may vary. In the end I went to a Sony SCD-1 SACD player and I haven't looked back.
