Sorry for the delay in responding to you about how close/far apart the Cosecant was to the AMR CD-77, but as I mentioned earlier the A-B review of the AMR CD-77 and the Cosecant USB DAC resulted in this unofficial lineup from highest to lowest by 2 of us.

1. AMR CD-77 CD transport
2. Wavelength USB DAC
3. AMR CD-77 USB DAC

The Cosecant was broken in and I belive the AMR CD-77 was broken in as I believe's it's the infamous unit that is well travelled and still had some quirks that needed to be addressed such as a mechanical clicking noise from the top loading disk drawer mechanism.

It's hard to quantify how much better the AMR's CD transport was over the Cosecant, but I would summarize by saying that if you're more into playing CDs and consider the computer server as a convenience, then the AMR CD-77 is a good choice. If you're seeking the ultimate USB DAC as you want to primarrilly use a computer server as your main digital source, then pursue the Cosecant or better yet get a Crimson which I suspect may compete well against AMR CD-77's transport.
