I've had the CA-1 for two weeks. It is simply a revelation. I've spent over 50k on gear the last few years. I won't get into all the amps I've had, but powering my Zu Soul 6s, I think I've come the closest to whatever I believe is absolute sound with the CA-1. I ABd it in a system with the $6600 Stereophile class A rated Moonriver 404 reference, and the Moonriver's owner immediately agreed the $1599 CA-1 was superior in all aspects. This thing scales into far more expensive systems. It is end-game for $1599. Put your Schiit down and place an order.
