Question for Jtinn, what kind of music do you primarily listen to? I'm going to check out the Audiomeca when I get a chance. The big difference I've heard in my dCS 972/Elgar compared to everything else I've heard including the Accuphase and the Burmeister, is the ability to unravel the sound of large scale orchestral works so that there is much more the impression of an orchestra playing Mahler or Stravinsky. I use a Sigtech and drive my monoblocks directly from the dCS so these difference are quite audible. Any comments?
