HI, i'v heard the Metronome dac, transport at the Stereophile shows in NY.
But I wasn't able to a A/B it to anything.
My friend has the the CEC TL-1X transport modified by Reference audio Mods with a Audio Aero Prima dac.
This is one of the best combinations i'v heard.
It sounded so analog like a turntable.
The only thing i could compare it to, would be the REIMYO CDP-777 CD Transport/Player, that uses the JVC K2 processor in it.
Another top of the line dac and transport i heard that sounded amazing was the Eximus Dac and Transport.
I dont think they make it anymore.
Here's a pic of it http://www.shows.soundstagelive.com/shows/ces2005/showstoppers4.shtml
