I was very pleased to sell my Meridian 566 DAC a few years ago - my Shanling (CD player) sounds vastly better than the Meridian did; the Meridian was detailed but lacked warmth and air, to my ears. Given the kind of sound you seem to like, it might be worth looking at the non-os DACs currently available - Derek Shek, Monica2 and mhdt, for example. They are just £75-£200 ($150-350), so a bit of a no-risk buy in the scheme of things. I'm thinking of getting one just to play :) Adam -- adamslim SB3 and Shanling CDT-100, Rotel RT-990BX, Esoteric Audio Research 859, Living Voice Auditorium IIs, Nordost cables ------------------------------------------------------------------------ adamslim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29340 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
