Well I for one think it is a fine accolade. Class C might have been fairer but JA made the very up front caveat concerning the analog output most seem to be aware is just average. The point is that he rated the product in positive terms throughout the review. BTW I have been a Stereophile reader for 20 years and have both loved and hated the magazine. Yes the gear normally reviewed is obscenely priced but that is why I read Automobile as well. I want to know about the Ferraris and the Levinsons. But I also want to read about the Civics and SB's. I am stoked that Stereophile and JA in particular is taking the time to open up this whole new world to me. I am so excited about ripping my sizable CD and vinyl collection to my Mac server and hearing music equal to those high end players JA mentioned. Mine included. So don't be all upset about the "D" you guys. Number one...all publicity is good publicity. And JA said enough good things to get this audiophile off his listening chair for the past day reading the posts on this great site before making my final purchase decision. To SB or Transport....that is the question!
