Kinki Studio EX-M1
After having a black Marantz integrated all these years I was happy to get a silver Kinki EX-M1. But, to imagine how it would look in black.....@coldears,Good to hear your impressions on the Kinki. I totally agree with you on it's ability to separ...

What else can I say except that I thoroughly enjoy the Kinki EX-M1 and though it keeps getting better, one way now, another way later, I just take it all for granted now. I'll put in a favorite CD and sit back to take it all in and remark to mysel...

My experience after lost of 20k$
For any who think that CD playback is a dead ender take a look at other threads here and some online review sites where CDT & DAC combos are the equal of and sometimes bettering some much touted PC setups. Also, there's this:http://highfidelit...

I think people (myself included) have to reconcile the fact that the Kinki can and does generate heat but not unduly so. I thought it was a Class A/B design that operated in Class A for the first few watts and both Alvin and Mike have pointed out ...
