HowdyYou said "... (Unless I'm mistaken, one can't do that with the Meitner system)." Tho this isn't quite the same I found it interesting:
One of my friends who can't stand vinyl and thinks something is missing in my system was over and I had a thought.
I hooked my player up with the SPDIF digital interconnect instead of the ST glass fiber interconnects and played a CD for him.
The difference? Whether the CD to DSD conversion was being done in the transport or the DAC. Since both are implemented by Meitner and (tho I don't have direct confirmation from EMM Labs) I believe they are identical up converts. So the real difference it the amount of jitter caused by the SPDIF interconnect.
Guess what? He liked the extra jitter better!
So I used my CD jukebox as a transport instead and he liked that better.
I'm not implying that you or other APL customers resemble my friend or that this experienced is in anyway the same as yours but I was surprised that anyone would prefer more jitter :)
