All the ingredients appear to be there for creating the worlds finest CD/SACD player, well, ever?
The thing is, are there any in the UK?
Judging by the general avoidance of Accuphase by the UK's high end community (does that sound rude? ) I suspect there is not a single example of their flagship two box jobbie in good old blighty.
It's looking like I will never get to hear one.
For me, that IS a real pisser.
