Well, he did mention dCS in his first post and he asked about the Meitner gear above. The dCS stack (Verdi transport, Purcell upsampler, Elgar Plus DAC) goes for about $35k list and if you add the Verona master clock it's over $40k. The Meitner CDSD and DCC2 together are about $20k list and the DCC2 is also a reference quality pre-amp. Even if the guy never touches a single SACD, he will still be buying a Redbook source and pre-amp that compete with anything out there.Whether or not it's a very poor investment to spend $20k for a digital source and pre-amp is something I can't comment on because it's way out of my price range.
