Akaddict, Iam glad you ask about the imaging, detail,
midrange purity,In my system,according to the guy who brought the BAT,my sony 9000es unmodded that time,is
more detail and transparent,and ,BAT imaging I think
is better, Bat palpability is a bit better.But on SACD even
unmodded sony, I like the sony for my taste.The soundstage
of BAT is huge, it has more depth,either way you cant go
go wrong.Its only my opinion, others may have differrent
experience, Like audiotweak said his ps audio transport
and dac killed the sony.I believe Him.
