    I don't think you'd be disappointed. I've tried both the optical and coax connections and found the coax is slightly more revealing.

    I am not convinced by the cost effectiveness of dedicated cd transports against modern blu-ray players. I would be interested in the results of a blind listening test pitting a dedicated cd transport against a good blu-ray player into a reference DAC. Surely the tighter tolerances of the blu-ray format and lasers should provide a bit-perfect stream to the DAC.

    They should have told Ben they were going to use multiple cameras!
