Great stuff @jayctoy !
yes, it would seem that at $3000 both pieces are a fantastic deal, and the CD digital audio converter unit might just be a steal. For all the stuff that Audiophile‘s to throwing money everywhere this thing could make a great back up for some people who have even very high in systems.
this might be a bit of a bold statement and I’m not sure I can actually make it: it seems the Ruby gear at $3k cannot easily be matched in build quality alone. I mean, I’m not sure of a whole other devices out there at the $3000 price point there built like this. That’s real value.
