AA Dti PRO 32 for perpetual P1A???

I don't have any experience with the P1-a either, but I owned the whole AA setup-DDE3.0, DTI-Pro, Monolithic supply, Channel Island mods etc. I now own the P-3a(DanWright mod) with Monolithic supply and I am totally blown away. It is in a whole different league from the old AA stuff. I never liked the sound of the DDE3without the DTI Pro in front of it but the P3a is WONDERFUL. Extremely detailed yet smooth and musical with a Awesome soundstage. I am waiting for the software to become available for my speakers (B&W N804's)before I get the P1-a which should be in about a month acording to the company. I can hardly wait! So I guess my answer is YES go for it. $500 is a very generous tradein and the P1-a is many times advanced over the DIT-Pro. Like comparing a Pentium 1 to a Pentium 4.

Hi Senorkenessey. Is the Audio Alchemy DTI Pro 32 an anti-jitter device or a DAC? I believe the Perpetual Technologies P1A is an unsampler and correction engine only, and the P3A is a DAC. If you don't already have a DAC wouldn't you need both the P1A and P3A combo? But, if the DTI Pro is a DAC and you're thinking of adding the P1A in front of the AA, I don't know how that would work.

I just want to mention this in case you weren't aware of that. As far as sound characteristics, I haven't heard either. Sorry I couldn't help you more.
