I have owned CJ amps and preamps for years and been very happy with them. The digital products are another story. I had the transport and tubed DAC for 3 years and found them, despite their high price (approx. $3600) laid back, uninvolving, not very reliable, and all in all, not very satisfactory. They wouldn't play CDRs and approx. 5% of my other CDs which played perfectly in other units. Bottom line: you can do better, IMO. Good luck,

The DV-2b has a lovely, natural sound like other CJ gear. It is not up to date in terms of chip design and level of detail in the sound. I owned one for quite a while and loved it, and found it reliable. You can probably do better for the money, strictly speaking, but this is a matter of taste.
