Been playing with this little jewel for a few
days now, it's fantastic!
Sounded great at CES, but not my stuff, my room, my music,etc.
But now that I've had a little time with it, it's a home run.
Pretty much limited by the quality of DAC you use it with. Started
out with the Benchmark, moved to the Supernait in the living room
and back out to the big system, with the Wadia 521 DAC. Gives the
581i a run for it's money. Of course the big player does SACD and
is still the last word in ultimate transparency, but it's head and shoulders
above a lot of 5000 dollar CD players I've heard.
Sneak peek in issue 14 (feb) full review in issue 15 (apr)
If you have any interest in one of these, get an order in now, the first few
production runs are going to sell out right away!!!
