Although perhaps not as exciting as the speaker news, I do have a piece of news to share with you friendly people. I have decided on my source. Now this may come as a surprise to many of you but I have had my eye on this source for a while and while no longer a reference level at this time, it has been for a while in the past.
I know I was very set on an Esoteric K1, but there was one thing that it did have that I wanted and it was dsd... Which the K1x has. I would buy the K1x but I don't like being an early adopter as that usually means large depreciations when resale comes along and I'm not prepared to pay $16 for a unit and sell it back at $8 someday.
I have thought about the EMM Labs xds1 but again, some limitations in the digital inputs - maybe better in next version.
I guess what I'm saying is that all the options I looked at had compromises one way or another... So when this particular Cdp with digital inputs came up, I couldn't say no.
Please join me in welcoming the Cary 306SACD!!!!
Per my conversation with Gary Gordon, I've already contacted Cary and I have quote on future services should it need it. It was recently (last month) checked over and had the tray repaired so I think I am looking at a solid and fully functional unit. I hope it arrives in great condition!
