Is EAD still relevant

I have a EAD DSP7000 Mk3 and while it is still a good DAC, it probably is easily outdone by some of the current DSD DAC's on the market. Some of which are not terribly pricey.
I'm going to be looking into some of these DAC's in the near future and will do some shoot outs ( with the EAD). I don't have a lot of expectation for the good old EAD.

Gentlemen,

it is great to hear you guys are still emjoying this brand.
I did not think it was operational any longer? In fact, I had a service center- Boelen Electronics- that I heard was either non-operational or out of business?

Again, enjoy the EAD products. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Greg Palma, of the original EAD, has "Noble electronics" and they service the EAD and have many wonderful mods for the units.

I have heard from more than one source that the EAD DSP9000 series are the real deal, and that they are up there with the best ever for the playback of standard redbook CDs (no hi-res support.)

Greg Palma of EAD/Noble Electronics are good people.
