near irreplaceable within my system synergy & design.
Not long ago I took it with me to a store to audition it along side some expensive alternatives. The first player they pitted it up against was the cheapest, but still relatively expensive Bryston player, which was supposedly "superior" since "newer" and unlike the Ikemi (or any Linn player), the Bryston uses a discrete output stage.
I told the saleman that it was not going to be a fair comparison for the Bryston (just consider the vast history and experience of these two companies with digital), and he just dismissed the notion and laughed ... until the audition took place.
The rest of the day was just as interesting.
