Levinson 30.6 or dCS Elgar & Purcell

dac_envy (bad fake screen name, BTW): what's a "finatic"? i'd guess it is someone really into heat sinks.

Full review of DCS Purcell/Elgar Plus in current Stereophile, price for both is $17,000. With the constant change in technology, unless you are very rich, seems wiser to get one of many excellent DACS current available for @$1,500 or less, and upgrade as new technology evolves.

Cornfedboy: It is no worse than your real screen name. :)
