A giant killer ?
As far as I'm concerned, this machine is not a killer of anything..... quite the opposite, it is a lover, and a music lovers lover of music... all these hyped up hyperventilating ultra engineered masterpieces of transport finesse, up & oversampling excess, Hi-Fi Brow prowess...Pah !!
Where the f*ck did the music go in the process...?
It sounded great out of the box, even better after a few tweaks and customer support was more than decent, the company has a philosophy and an aesthetic which I can ascribe to which counts for something in my book...
The only part which really might eventually wear in it, the transport, is dirt cheap to replace and plentiful... plays ALL my discs thus far regardless of apparent and obvious scratches, oh yeah did I say that it 'out loved' the music more than the Ayre CX-5e, Nagra CDP, EMM Labs, AA Prestige, Cambridge 840 and several others who stepped in the arena already ? :-))
Others mileage WILL vary, and boy oh boy was Douggie S haulin' some heavy Karma on his run (!!) ...in the end it's all meaningless if you aren't plain enjoyin' nuthin' but the music...
