Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy?


(1) Either single unit CD Player or Transport/DAC combo.

(2) no modded units please, only factory stock models

(3) please rank them if you can

----------------------------------------

A few come to my mind:

EMM Labs, DCC2 SE + CDSA SE combo
Esoteric, P-03/D-03/G-0Rb combo
Wadia, 581 Pro

Dcstep:I've copied below the questions I posed to you in my prior post, which I'm hoping you will answer.

>>>>Neither I nor the first respondent (Mikelavigne) has written a bold faced lie; yet, are our claims any LESS subjective than would be Newly's even if he's done the comparisons you're so fixated on? <<<

>>>If I told you I also deliberately worded my claim to maximize it's potential boost to Scarlatti sales because I've gotten to know a few people at Audiophile Systems Ltd and want to help them sell more of these expensive units in a difficult economy, would I be in violation of the "code of ethics" to which you refer? <<<
this thread is getting out of hand.

as has been mentioned many times in the past, "better" and "best" is subjective. until someone defines what better is and can prove, objectively of course, that component a is better than component b, its all just opinion.

sorry dave, the logic is perfectly clear and you have provided nothing to refute it--end of story !!!
