I am reviewing the DV-60 right now, Karl...

...for *Positive Feedback Online.* Indeed, I am listening to the terrific Stockfish SACD, *The Spirit of Gambo,* via the DV-60 right now. (If you love cello, you really should get this SACD; the Gambo is a marvelous instrument, particularly when accompanied by harpsichord. I listen to it regularly.)

I'll be writing my comments up in PFO, but I can say that my initial take on the DV-60 is very favorable. It doesn't have the exceptional VRDS transport of the upper regions of the Teac Esoteric line, but then again, neither does it sport a price tag in that region, either. And while it is not a VRDS, the DV-60's transport engine has been very solid and has operated flawlessly during the several months that I have had it. With its available Native DSD mode (good move!) and PCM -> DSD conversion option (a la the EMM Labs line...another good move!), plus switchable PCM filtering for Red Book, the user has a good deal of flexibility available. Best of all, the sound is quite pleasant to my ears, without some of the PCM glare that DSD -> PCM SACD playback only players exhibit.

Not only that, but it will handle your DVD videos and DVD-A's, as well. Thus far, I've seen no compatibility issues; DVD-A's read up just fine.

I hope this helps you. More detailed comments and product photos will follow at PFO.

All the best,

david
