Guys,
The "shootout" mentioned by TRACER is complete and the results are out on the Stereomojo site. As mentioned earlier, there are some major players missing from the shootout, however, the results might surprise a lot of people.
BTW, I've been using a Red Wine Audio Reali-T (Clari-T integrated amp, plus Scott Nixon DACkit in one box) for a while now. I've got a couple of very good SET amps sitting on my storage shelf. The Reali-T is just too easy to live with and it sounds great too.....
Enjoy,
TIC
