Just to set the record straight, in no way was I saying that the Rega is not an excellent CDP, which it is. It's just that, at least to my ears, I preferred the sound of the Creek over the Rega with the equipment that was used in the set-up that I heard (and eventually bought - which incidentally included the Creek 4330R amp). In fact the differences between them were more subtle than earth-shaking. By the way, when I refer to the ability of the Creek to reproduce "low-level" detail, what I mean is really the ability to portray subtle nuances of the music, which can be manifested in ways such as soundstaging, etc. - not necessarily the kind of forward "detail" that you refer to with the MSB Link DAC. It may also be the two Creeks just happen to be a better match for each other beause of design synergy, etc. In another system, the Rega (or AH! Joeb, etc, etc) may give better results. The Rega is clearly a superb CDP and had I not heard the Creek, I would have purchased it above all other CDPs that I listened to.
