OK, sounds sensible. $20K to $40K is a big spread but probably covers the range for a good number of 'philes. With AN, it's always tempting to cheat a little on cable and the front end, and that can take it up fast. As good as AN copper cable is, AN speakers love silver and w/o sllver AN ain't quite AN; so that's where the escalator starts. Not sure what the sweet spot is among the digital front ends these days, but if you go to separates, there's more trouble! Anyway, Cope always used to use a one-box CDP and probably ISIS cable, which keeps things under control.
There is a line among most audio marques that crosses from music territory into sound territory. Cope has been around Audio Note long enough to know where that line is.
