APL NWO2.5 ?

Though I'm not able to hear this player, I'm about to take the plunge......
Is it as good as some audiophiles claim ?

It has re-designed output stage with MOSFET output buffers. So, no AKM DACs, no Upsampler, no Tubes. It really sounds very good at its price point, IMO. On a scale from 1 to 10, if this Denon is 1, the AKM tubed version is 5-6 and the NWO-2.5 is at least 12. :-) Regards, Alex

And my point was that I think the APL products are accurate and neutral while being musically convincing and, yes, euphonic.

Use NWO, which is a recognized SOTA source, as base to see if further upgrading is necessary and appropriate.
