Z-Systems RDP-1


I am considering buying a used RDP-1 to use as both a digital equalizer and replace my current preamp, a McCormack TLC-1 Deluxe. I will be running into either a Camelot Uther or MSB Gold Link III DAC straight into a McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe Rev A power amp. Can anyone whose had experience with the RDP-1 give me any guidance about the wisdom of such a purchase, things to look for or be careful about, or general impressions about the RDP-1. The reviews sound great, but I imagine there is more to the story than what I've read!

1. I do not think that the RDP-1 imparts any significant character to the sound.
2. If one is using the Camelot Uther DAC, one does not need another switcher/volume control since the Uther has multiple, selectable inputs and a very nice analog volume control, both of which are accessible from the remote.
