Any info on the Linn Unidisk 2.1
yes they are available they are 7500$ or there abouts.I have only heard the 1.1 but the 2.1 is supposed to be really nice. 
What do you think of the new Linn Unidisk?
I think it is amazing. Price is depending on how you hear it. I compared it to the teac dv-50. I thought it was worth the extra money based on its sound and support from Linn. 
Experience w/ Linn Unidisk 1.1 or Goldmund 18D?
software update for the linn unidisk 1.1 and 2.1 is out to fix all of the noted problems. have your friend conntact his dealer.

Sacd / Dvda universal players

Help to pick redbook player

Sacd / Dvda universal players
chelentano thats kinda how I am leaning. I could get the yamaha now and wait two more years for hopefully everything to get straightened out. Then go with a reference class player, although I do really like the lexicon, but it is based on the pion...

Linn's Ninka speaker: Anyone heard it??
bishopwill I dont disagree but name me a brand that isnt overrated or overvauled for that matter. I think the point in audio is getting the sound you are listening for a price you can live with it.
