If he does not have any feedback, I would advise against PayPal and go with wire transfer. Much safer for you.

Does the seller have any feedback ?

I have never tried the RCA or XLR/RCA outs. I always stayed balanced, becouse of the system/cables I have had at the time.As I said before - the only meaningful difference is between regular and SE/Signature models. The sound much more transparent...

Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA
I wonder if the new CDSA will be a true SACD player. The Mediatek digital transport used in the original CDSA was not able to output pure DSD signal, but converted it to 88,2kHz instead (and then upsampled it to 2x DSD).

I have one at home right now. Sounds promissing. BTW - how much does the DP-700 retail for in the US ?
