Long Term Evaluations of Audiolab CDT6000?

I purchased from Music Direct. I was using a McIntosh MA-12000’s internal DAC and the sound was flat and lifeless. I returned the CDT6000. Then I put together a fast NAS and scanned my CDs. I since purchased a Holo May KTE DAC and the CDs sound amazingly musical.

This isn’t meant as a negative review, but rather a suggestion that you try it in your system. There aren't a lot of choices in this price range.  I suspect that the CDT6000 feeding the May DAC would have had a much better presentation.

Ive owned mine for approximately 9 months and remain very impressed. It plays well above it's price point. I found it responds to better power cords, coax cable and isolation devices
