Chadeffect,

MBL 9007Monos, Blowtorch Pre, Wilson Maxx2s, Taralabs Omega Gold, Zero Onyx ICs and Cobalt XLs. Looking for a combination of SOTA resolution and musicality.
when you say further up the dcs line - do you mean the paganini and scarlatti? i'd like to know how much better the paganini is vs the puccini.
also, i'm looking for resolution and transparency - not added on warmth.
the Chord Red Reference got the highest rating EVER from hi-fi choice. hasn't anyone heard it?
when i started this thread, i was looking for opinions of these players' ability to play redbook - not sacd.
anybody had a chance to compare the Playback Designs with the Berkeley Audio Alpha Dac on redbook?
