Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD

Hi, I thought I would put a giant killer for digital on this thread that all of you should check out and comment on here, although many of you may scoff about the name brand?, The Yamaha cd-s3000 sacd player/Dac $5,999.00 retail!, very interesting specs and cosmetics, given years ago exsperience with Yamaha, I bet this would kick the crap out of some bigger name, much more exspensive equipment out there, you think?

Thank you Audiolabirynth, as I have never listened to this Yamy, I have no opinions on whether the Yamaha CD-S3000 will vanquish any giants or otherwise cause any explosive bowel movements in the aforementioned... But here is the device's home page... Blessed be the Googlesphere!

Matt, I just spent the day listening to the Romulus at Audio Connection. He had Richard Vandersteen in for the day, so it was on his 7's with his own amp. The pre was the AR ref with phono...It was in the back room.. Best sound I've EVER heard. I was there very early and late and got the sweet spot seat. It was a ton of records as that's what Nick loves, but I threw a couple of my songs on the Rom from a CD I brought with me and it was amazing.. Still didn't do somethings a record will do, but it did a lot of stuff better. I was in shock as I've heard it a few times and this time it was really special. If the products you are listening to are better, then we are the winners. I think Digital is starting to really come of age. I'm still hoping that all in one solutions start to come out. Maybe units that you can control from a wifi app where you can hook up your own hard drive/NAS..that way you can better control your storage etc... I wish I knew more about digital, but I do know sound. If you are around the store, just stop by and check it out...It is worth the trip I promise. Wish I could hear some of the boutique products too as I'm sure they are awesome. I think this is why I'm always going to be a Brick and Mortar guy. Glad we have both options still.

Audiolab - Yamaha and $6K? You can't be serious.
