I had a DA2b with a Pioneer Pd-65 Transport. I was rather disapointed with the sound. I tired the DAC with several other transports and still no luck the sound was quite vailed.
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!
