Well I have a sonic frontier dac and transport three with an out board power supply it is one of the best five cd playback systems I have ever heard most of that group of five systems have the ultra analog chip set in them. They all retailer for over 20 k in the day. One level down are top of the line play back systems that have 63k dac sets in th I have both a wadia and a krell with those dac chips and I used to own a ead with those dac chips. They are all in the 10k at retail price range back in the day.any will not agree with me but I have not found any streamer that comes close in sound quality. It may be the streamer I have heard or it may be the cheaper play back systems that others are comparing to streaming or partly both.
