Re: I have a Flatfish, which is the big brother to the Shig.

The Shig is a top-loading transport only, made out of folded metal attached to a stone base. it does not have the locking capability of the VRDS which is a 'normal' cdp/transport. however, depending on your taste and preference, the Shig could be a good choice, but the cost.

i did like it's reproduction when paired with its own DAC but has never heard it with another. it is rather queer to that if you load a CD, say, with 10 tracks, and you load another one afterwards with 15 tracks, the 5 tracks are not read unless you reset... annoying. also, the plastic remote is out-of-place for its price. in other words, i find it hard justifying the expense for this metal-sheet-with-stone ware, but i will definitely give it a try with my SFDAC-2.

the VRDS is adapted by Wadia, this i know, and very 'hi-end' in nature and functionality.

short: give both a try with your Altmann DAC & judge by ear (and looks).
