Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

"he enjoyed the absurdity that the thing could sound as good as it did."

That's probably true, and I remember reading his review as somewhat tongue in cheek when he pondered if the 3400 was "Better than the Levinson?" which was a $25,000 two box CD player.

I can cut him some slack for having some fun, but he also did a frenzy whip with a B&K amp that was hand tweaked (bias increase?) for him by B&K, which made it sound better. Tellig admitted it in his review, so it wasn't a credibility issue, but B&K balked at doing the tweak for the masses (I'm guessing because of reliability issues).

So his review was essentially a "Here's a giant killer amp, but you can't get one like mine", which, for me anyway, put Tellig into the hype category.

My CD-3400 saw relatively little use, but just stopped working one day. I still have it in a box somewhere.
