The Marco-boy main system, as of August 2020

nice dac that

Churz... The transport (or rather CDP I've turned into a transport) is none to shabby either, lol. I haven't posted any pics, as they came out way too dark. The player is black, with rosewood cheeks and sits right at the bottom of my rack, and yesterday the light was pretty bad, so here are a few pics from the web of ones exactly the same as mine:

And here it is featured as part of a 'stack system':





What a collection of components, eh? Just pant-wettingly gorgeous!! All Sony ES, from the days when they put every ounce of their money and know-how into designing 'cost no object' equipment - and yes my X-777ES, shown third from the bottom, was part of that. I can't imagine what that system would've cost new!

But yes, in conjunction with my DAS-R1 DAC *really* does show what CD can do, and I suspect few have heard.
