The remote is not intuitive and the way the manual lists the remote features is pathetic
Quibbles aside, it is a huge improvement for me over using cd players as transports.
My 6000 is connected to an Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 via a 1.5m Pangea Premier SE > LSA Voyager GaN 350 > Emerald Physics 3.4s. All electronics is connected to a Core Power 1800 balanced PLC into a 20 dedicated line
In this system, I have no need for a tube pre, and since my system is 100% true balanced, a balanced tube pre would cost a lot of money
