Someone has to buy it new before you get to purchase it used. In my opinion (and this is after hearing a LOT of cd and SACD players that were higher priced than the Akurate) is that it is more than worth it's retail price. That is borne out easily by the worldwide sales of this superb digital front end. The new piece that they are getting ready to release is an even better deal in that it has digital inputs (HDMI too) along with analog (phono input of course)and is also a preamp. I have not heard it yet but am betting it will be a stunner at a 10% increase in price over the Akurate DS. It is the Akurate DSM.
LINN Akurate DS vs. ANY CD PLAYER
Is there anyone who has actually compared a LINN Akurate DS with 24/96 and/or 24/192 WAV or FLAC files to a CD player and preferred the CD player? If so, what CD player was it.
Just interested.
The opinion of my dealer is that you would need to spend 10's of thousands on a CD player to even compete with an Akurate DS.
