Audiolabyrinth,
IÂm not an expert on the Music Culture Elegance 501A CDP, after all I just received mine yesterday (11/21/13).
I believe if you read the following review it will answer all of your questions, I have found that what was said it true and a fair review.

I came across this CDP by accident but it was one of the best things that has happened to me in audio.
Xtreme Fedelity in Fairfield NJ was the US distributer for this German company but no longer. They still have some of these new $4000 CDPÂs that they want to move.
ItÂs up to you to negotiate your best price plus freight. If I were you I would want to pay a lot less then $1900. ;-)
