It does not work with most of the cd player amp/preamp combinations as in my opinion it smears the high frequency and robs the shimmer from the recordings, I owned it when I bought the Marantz CD-63SE with which it was a good match for some reason. After changing the CD players I kept connecting it and somehow the sound was always better without the DUFFER in between.
$400 + an ADDITIONAL interconnect is a lot of money even if it does give you a feeling it is doing something.Besides, many thought that changing the stock tube inside makes it sound even better so add that too if you have to go for it.Some serious audiophiles who are technically inclined had said that it is nothing but a noise generator and should be promptly removed from the system to whoever was using it at that time. I would simply spend on more music than on this product.
The good thing about it was that I was able to sell it at almost 80% of the originl price 2-3 years later. Never regretted the decision.
This is my sincere advice based on my personal experience with the product.
Conclusion: Sheer waste of money!
Just my 0.02 cents worth
