Just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. I just received a Pace Car 2 and Bitmeister SPDIF cable today from Steve @ Empirical. For the skeptics in this thread, I will say unequivocally, hands down, this device has added tremendously to my system in very, very noticeable ways. I'm sitting here writing this while I listen to some music I know well (i.e., Seal Best of Acoustic 24bit recording ripped from DVD-A, Rebecca Pidgeon Retrospective 24/96, Blue Coast Records tracks in 24/96, Norah Jones, Lauridsen's O Magnum Mysterium, even a popular CD like Taylor Swift Fearless, etc.), and am finding myself reguarly having to lift my falling jaw... and this is in it's first hour or two of duty and so not broken in yet. Music has more detail, meaningfully more extension in the highs and lows, more musical and analog sounding (without any compromise in detail), better separation between instruments / voices, bigger soundstage (and far better imaging of the instruments within the soundstage). Setup for context is Transporter->PaceCar2->Meridian568.2->Krell amp. (the PaceCar2 uses it's word clock output with the Transporter as slave) Kudo's to Steve for such a great product.
