I had an AA 3.0 for a short while, but without the DTI. I replaced it with an MSB Link III, with mods by Channel Islands which made it equivalent to the Nelson Link, plus I had the upgraded Monolithic power supply. BIG IMPROVEMENT over the AA 3.0 in all areas. Sorry to say, the 3.0 was not even close.
AA DDE v3.0 vs. newer stuff
Currently using an Audio Alchemy DDE v3.0 / DTI 2.0 combo driven by a Marantz CD67SE. Can any past/present owners of AA gear weigh in on how this rig compares to some of the newer stuff out there in the ~$1000 range (new or used). Been out of the hifi hobby for some time, and wondering if the AA stuff is just plain outclassed by the newer technology.
