Now I need to find a cheap yet MASSIVE vintage transport. Wish I had kept the 80 lb monster MSB Technology Laser Disc Transport LS1 Gold. That would have gone well with the M1.
Prior to that I'd say a great deal. In the last 10 years though? Not in my mind.
The advent of cheap femto clocks and DACs which do much better with Redbook (44.1kHz/16 bit stereo) than the previous generation happened around 2000 or so.
After that I think it's all taste making rather than actual improvements in tech.
Prove me wrong by sending me the latest dCS stack to listen to for a couple of years.
My M1-CLIC is still operating perfectly within it's feature limitations (for example internet radio is limited).
Sound quality is fine: smooth, no digital harshness, applause sounds real, cymbals have tone not just hiss, vocals are sweet and full where appropriate, blah, blah, blah :).
