Northstar 192 Transport and DAC - comments

I am about to buy a NorthStar 192 Transport and DAC. Any comments about sound, reliablity, service, value etc would be appreciated.
Thanks

I second your comments "North Star rocks". Be sure to check out the Revelation Audio Labs i2s cable that I mentioned earlier. It has squeezed even more detail out of the North Star combo. I honestly don't really care about "hi-rez" formats with the quality of my current redbook. It is that good. Have fun listening.

I really have noticed it now that mine is breaking in. Better high and low extension. I send the digital out of my dvd player to the North Star dac for incredible movie watching experience. Have fun.
