Audio Alchemy DTi Pro 32 - Any Good?


Hey....
I have a AA DDS pro transport, with EAD 7000III into a CJ CAV50 integrated. I'm thinking of adding a AA DTI Pro 32 between transport and Dac, and maybe even replacing the EAD Dac with the AA vers 3.0 dac.
Does anyone have any experience with the DTI Pro 32?
I've read some really rave reviews about the Pro 32 particularly when used with the I2s cables, but there is no opportunity to demo this equipment, so I would have to take a gamble on buying from ebay or audiogon.

The AA DDS Pro and EAD combo are pretty good - how much better with the Pro 32 and V3 dac?

Help!

AS an add-on; the Meridian 518 will better the Genisis Lense at about the same price on the used market price. I also had one of those.
The DTI-PRO 32 is an excellent addition to your existing system. I would not hesitate recommending it, especially with your existing equipment. I also recommend the upgraded power supply. I have the AA Power Station 2 which powers up to three AA devices and it was a nice upgrade. The unit can run warm and it will need good ventilation. Mine sits atop my DAC and I have never had issues with the unit. It can pass HDCD signals and can increase word length to 24 bit. I use 20-bit as a match for my 20 bit DAC. Adding the DTI to the set-up elevated the detail, depth and stage of just about every CD I have. I have not compared this to the Genesis or the new Perpetual Tech gear but I bought my DTI 32 about 3 years ago for around $400 and it was a steal (then). It was some of the best money I've spent in my system and I would consider it a bargain at twice that amount (originally listed around $1400). I have heard many of the latest/greatest 24 bit DAC's and I am very comfortable with the performance of my digital front-end and have yet to feel the need to upgrade. In fact, when/if I do upgrade, it will probably be to SACD - which is the only format (with the test disc)that sounds better than what I currently have. As a side, I just bought the new Rolling Stones "Hot Rocks" on a hybrid CD/SACD and it is awesome on the CD layer without the SACD capability! Good luck and go for it! Tony
I have the unit below the DtiPro 32(Dti V2.1)and like Treyhoss matched with the DDE V3 and the power station 2.
These units might be old but they really are very good.
I borrowed a friends MSB 24/96 with upsampling and it didn't beat my set-up.
Remarkably like Treyhoss it is making my Stones London Years SACD/CD disc sound pretty amazing....
