Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy?

Mike and Cappuccio, reviewer for the 069 is reviewed by Anthony Cordesman. I read the review and although it started AC saying it as the 'outstanding peformance in every respect' later he started pouring caveat after caveats(some valid). Judging from sound quality description, it sounds like it performs more towards musical flavour.(a good thing)

For me though, the best is still the Zanden digital combo.

Spectral SDR 4000 Reference. Hands down.

I can't wait to see if you're right; I have the Spectral coming in next week :)

That's exciting Bar81! How many hours of break in will the Spectral require before it stabilizes?

I know, I can't wait :) It's a demo unit so it should be broken in but I hear the KX-R needs break in on every input and I haven't used the RCAs so it'll probably be at least a couple of weeks. Plus I will be getting several of the top end Siltech cables (ICs, speaker and power) to play with so I'll keep myself busy in the meantime :)
