what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ?

Well, I may have great news here, my buddy just tubed rolled his Ayon 2s to spectacular effect!, we both was going to sale our players!, He claimed no more forward sound! huge difference in sound for the better in every way he says!, He put 1972, or 1976, or 1980 nos p-DR 6h30 tubes in it, he will e-mail the exact year!, thats alot more affordable than buying a new player, well see, I may still buy another player and keep the Ayon 2s with these so called super tubes!, cheers to all.

I am currious is to why no one has mentioned a player, that of all things was dicussed on a amp thread!, The EAR acute 3 player, whats every ones impressions of this player for direct to amps, the reviews are thru the roof!, cheers.

I can give you 2 reasons. 1. I don't read audio reviews. 2. I forgot it has a volume control.

Now that you know about it, I say definitely listen to it. He's an excellent designer that's talented in many areas. If you end up liking it, I can recommend a dealer that will probably give you a very good deal on one. Also, you may want to check out the 25th anniversary SACD of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Its dual layer, so even if you don't have an SACD player, you can still listen to the CD layer. Tim P did the remaster on that one. It has a very unique sound and listening to it may give you some insight as to how he thinks as a designer.

@ ZD542, Thankyou, you are very cool!, I have a good recording of the dark side of the moon, remastered, I will look into this one you have presented, what do you know of EAR electronics?, I just started a thread of this player, due out within the next day or so, waite a minute, LOL!, I just caught onto what you said, Tim P is the designer of what I am looking at for digital, you said he remastered this 25th anniversary Pink Floyd cd, I am not slow!, Lol!, I just learned today who he is!, I thought the name was familiar!, man!, thats awsome, this designer also remasters digital recordings!, thats excitement to me!, I really believe this player would be better than the Aesthtix romulus player, by a long shot, what do you think?

I am breaking in an esoteric k03direct to 2 sanders magtech amps and the sound is pretty spectacularafter 200 hours.
