Audiofeil: So as you are a retailer, I guess your recommendation of "A retailer's recommendations should be taken with a grain of salt", should be taken with a grain of salt.
I am using a pre SE CDSD (replaced my front end with all EMM SE) in another system with a Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC by the AES/EBU connection. I find the sound to be excellent, but not up to the SE pair.
The transport is an excellent transport, but the magic is when combined with an EMM Labs DAC. I would recommend going with another transport or getting an EMM Labs DAC to combine with the CDSD.
