Recently bought a c-j Premier 9 DAC and the DR-1 transport. WOW! Previously had a Cary 308 and a Sony SCD-777ES and an Ah!Tjoeb 99. The c-j has an awesome analogue stage. The widest dynamics and most complex music is resolved with a relaxed ease. The bass is far superior to any of the others: power, depth and rythum. And for once the sound of massed violins in an orchestra are sweet and clear-near the equal to my Linn LP12. I'll keep the c-j for years and years more!
have u heard Conrad Johnson's tube CD player?
... the DV-2b? I'm interested, and can't find much by way of reviews or feedback on the unit. Can't even find the spec sheet on CJ's site!
