Bat VK-D5SE Owners
i have the opportunity to buy this cdp and am sitting on the fence on this one...i need to hear from those audiogoners that either own one or have owned a vk-dse...what can you tell me about this cdp compared to other cdps at or near its price point (new and used)...the player i am considering is a consignment piece locally and is priced about $2800, which seems fair to me
on consignment, i won't be able to bring it home (unless i buy it) and place it in my system, hence the hesitation and cry for help...does the bat do more with 20 bits, its 4 dacs, uncluttered output and 6h30 super tubes than the other 24bit, up/over/super-duper sampling cdps?
given that it is BAT i expect top shelf build and performance, but still wonder if i should give stronger consideration to the 24bit/196khz players (emc, cary, etc) that i may find. my cd collection is entirely redbook and i have not the itch or want to enter the hi-rez world yet since that would entail an even costlier software investment
check my virtual system if you care to better understand my situation
if i have forgotten anything, let me know and i can post more information if need be
thanks to all in advance
