$39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer?


It has to be set up using a special service and there is no manual? I guess this for the very wealthy few who do not care about "gear." I would rather buy a car with this money, or part of a Porsche, and set up my own DAC/streamer. But Stephen Scarf at Absolute Sound says.."unquestionably the best combination DAC/streamer I've ever heard, bar none." Great hyperbole, may hold true for a month or two, then some other over-priced bit of kit comes along..

I have a ND 555--I recall that it is more than $24k, with the 555 PS added in (not an option) and the UnitiCore ripper and hard drive).  I would consider it to be in a comparable price class as the Linn.  I like it, but, I cannot say how the two compare .  I would expect the Linn to sound good, given their track record with digital gear.
