You really need to hear the Chord top of the line stuff, the advances made in the digital filtering (the software) are awesome. I only use that word when it is fitting.

I am even tempted to go down that route for my CD playback but the cost is not insubstantial.

From some of my reading, the new Mytek dacs are in the same ballpark for a lot less wonga Alan.
