in shore...Yes...personal taste is of paramount importance when it comes to the sound quality of one's audio equipment choices.
I do own both the DS dac and DMP transport and think most highly of the sound quality offered by the combo via hdmi. The dac has been trouble free since the get go.. but the transport does have a few glitches that can be annoying. There is supposedly to be a whole new firmware release at months end to fix all misgivings with it...here's hoping to a fully functional player. I am sure it will happen.
