A little more info, just for the curious among you. On the Dac side, it was an MSB Link Dac, de-jittered via an Audio Alchemy DTI, which I’m still using for Redbook sources by the way (DTI had to be repaired once by Dusty Vawter).
I think of the DTi + Link Dac as the "poor man’s Mark Levinson", because once I did audition the Levinson 30.5 Dac and honestly it was not noticeably better than my setup, although also certainly no worse. But not to get off the topic, the PDT3 was a real diamond in the rough, which truly gave you a "taste" of the high end. Madrigal sure went the extra mile.
