Drat.
I suspect you are correct, Marco. This is by far the best CDP I have heard.
Another keeper, I suspect.
... what with my MBL speakers, my Krell pre, my Parasound power amp and now the RA CD50 my boxswapping options seem to be closing down. I guess there is room for improvement on the pre-amp front, but at what cost? - the Krell is darn good and synergises wonderfully with the power amp and speakers.
