These units are still reference level, both sonically and in build quality. We have been distributing CEC & Weiss digital for a number of years and I have personal experience with dCS & Levinson products for almost a decade. From this experience I can tell you that the 31.5 is only second to the TL-0 in sound quality. It still is far superior to anything else out there today, actually its the best sounding transport made today since CEC has stopped making TL-0s. While we still maintain that the Weiss Medea offers the most natural and realistic musical experience with digital, the 30.5/.6 are also still very competative and can be considered among the handful of top DACs available today, in some ways I prefer the 30.5 to the 30.6. Please don't confuse these Levinson Reference products with the rest of their line, the 360s doesn't even begin to approach the sonic qualities of the 30.5/31.5 combo. At 9k for the combo it just can't be beat!
