Short list of dacs for CEC TL-2X

No chance of me borrowing, auditioning or dealers in my area, so any help on these would be nice : Audio Aero Prima, Audiomeca Enkianthus, Audio Logic 2400, Audio Note 3.1, Thor DC 1000, Zanden 5000, Jadis ?

Incredible detail retrieval/pass through and super low noise floor with amazing bass- will mate well with the smooth sonic signature of the CEC. I have been using the AN 3.1 with a Spectral 3000 transport with stunning results- I imagine that the CEC would also be a great front end for the AN dac.

Very impressive- it's not beating my AN 3.1x Balanced yet, but still very, very good...

How IS that new Rx8? I have heard some good things about it- the specs on paper seem to indicate good hp/litre, but perhaps a bit lighter in torque for my liking (I drive a modified Toyota MR2 turbo).

Up here in these parts, all the young guys swap Japanese motors for other Japanese motors, but not Chevy's into Mazda's!! Good luck with the project and sorry about the hospital bills- we're kidna fortunate here in Canada with some pretty good coverage in that area. Later.
