Got the Rega yesterday. Played it for a while and i'm not sure what i think. Ran the digital and the rca's out of my Rotel so i was able to switch back and forth with my preamp sources for the comparison. To me it sounds only a bit better, with more air and more definition, but nothing to make me excited to sit down and listen to my collection to enjoy the new sound. It also sounded a bit brighter. I went thru the filters and none of them really jumped out as helping the sound any.
I was expecting a larger difference, one like I've heard in the past when comparing my existing player to a higher level one. Granted, the player that sounded substantially better was an Audio Research CD2, but I would think a 20 yr old $700 player would have given up much more to a newer $1k DAC. I'll listen some more this weekend.
On a side note, I hooked up my Audio Research VT 60 after it sat in my closet for 5+ years and it's not working. The power light comes on for a second, then goes off. The four large tubes turn on and of the three small tubes, the left/right ones light up but the center one does not. I'm hoping that middle tube is the issue, and i don't replace it and have the new one do the same thing. I really don't know anything about tubes, other than they get warm when they're working and the can sound good.
