I need the more better digital

Khirkpa, The price for both is around 10k OUCH! They are the best I've heard. I was reluctant to buy at this price but was told they could be modified to play all the new formats. I hope this is true IF they come to fruition. As far as reviews I have not seen any although Pierre Lurne has been very popular for some time(france)

I never met a digital component I liked. It would be nice to know if any of these more better suggestions are less than $10,000.

cw: the dcs, accuphase and audiomecca recommendations made in this thread are all over $10,000 MSRP. i'm not sure to which of the cec and audionote gear avguygeorge is referring. used, there are cec/audionoet combos both more and less than your $10k pricepoint. -kelly

.......neglected to mention that the upper end forsell, audio logic dac and dcs purcell combo recommended by rcprince will set you back >$24k.

Having listened to most of the gear described above I would highly reccomend the Audio Note DAC5 Special Edition. It is absolutley better than all of the above without even breaking a sweat. The sweating starts when you have to pay for it. But I have never heard digital sound so satisfying in all of the areas we consider sacred as through the DAC 5.
As for transports, the CEC and Forsell are definitely in the lead though I have not heard any of the TEAC based transports like the Ensemble, which are also reported to be excellent
