Wow! Old thread revival!
Sparkler Audio S503 is a fantastic spinner at $1750.00. Kazutoshi Tsukahara began Sparkler as 47 Treasure, a kit building company, after he left 47 laboratory. He gave up the kit part of the company and renamed it Sparkler to sell finished product. So much of the technology used at 47 Labs has found its way into the S503. The sound is very real and natural due to the use of the TDA1543 dac chip. Very innovative where you can power the dac section by battery and the motor for the disc drive from the wall. Amazing real sound in such a small and modestly priced high end spinner.
