Chopper21 let me borrow his for review. ( I was skeptical ) so I hooked it up to my old Threshold DAC2. Long story short, it will make CD's obsolete. That is if you take the time to record in Apple Loss-less or other high end option) Not only was I hearing things never I heard before ( especially in the macro sense ) but the sound-stage was excellent as well. The remote is useful, but this oldie can't see the display screen from across the room. Problem is, now I want my own. R.I.P. CD's. Say, why aren't there other companies offering one besides Wadia?.......... Can anyone suggest a few inexpensive DAC's to mate with it? The Cambridge Audio unit looks like a nice match. Thanks.
