Has anyone heard of this "Black Box"

Yes, the magazine Audiophile Voice reviewed it and liked it. Back issues are available at audiophilevoice.com.

Audioheaven.com is a dealer and has them in stock for 190 including shipping. He is sending me one to try out.

Outstanding!!! If you would Ljgj,keep me(us) posted here and tell the forum about what this unit sounds like.I am personally excited about this because this might be the unit I would be interested in for my system. Thanks again

I just received the unit and hooked it up through the processor loop to do A/B comparisons. I am using four CD units - 3 are coming through a Chord Dac 64 as transports - they are - the Electrocompaniet - (a Pioneer Mega changer and a Mcintosh 7008 6 disc changer through the 64 via a GW Labs jitter device). I also have a tube Shanling unit not coming through the 64. This setup will give me an idea if it is worthwhile having with any or all units. I will post more as I listen. My first impression is I kind of like it - not saying yet that it is really better if that makes sense. My preamp is the Mcintosh C2200 tube unit - the amp is a Mcintosh 352. The speakers hooked up now are the Martin Logan Odysseys. I will also try it with my Legacy Focus 20/20 and VMPS RM 40's.

keep us posted. I use the Ade-24 and I like it very much. You might want to make a little experiment. Use it for a while and get used to the sound, then disconnect it and I bet you will return it immediately to the path!
