you know the irony in all this is that -the transformers and the tubes and it's a great converter no doubt....

but essentially they are selling a tube tranny color machine,

it's kind of funny to think using a D/A which is usually associated with degradation of audio.... is now used in and of itself to improve the sound of a signal, hahahaha

Ye know what I'm thinking this approach is killer. Back in the golden days of sound, when circuits were built to sound great with little consideration for mass market. Top quality components, hand wired, high current and meticulous craft were maybe some of the ingredients that went into great equipment.
Not forgetting all multitrack machines had electronics for the audio path to interface the particles out of those machines into sound. The same priciple obviously applies to digital conversion.. now if that part of the process is so critical to good sound, why not stick that time honoured analogue design right there with the digi gadgets. If anything all but the best transistor designs are probably a compromise tonally in some way, even if they achieve their ruler flat "transparent" goals, adding to that that digital has had to come on leaps and bounds in itself due to presuppositions about our hearing mechanism based on lousy maths (I quote tim de P there)
So f#$k it if its got colour (maybe just a tad anyway), perhaps the most important thing is that critical stage of the process has been married with absolutely bloody high end components and discrete stages based on old ideas that just sounded bloody good. Im a believer

The color is the whole point. I'm payin top $$$ for the color. It's so that I have a fixed, static sound quality that become integral in my work. It's an anchor and I'm planning on it becoming part of my signature. I hope.

and MY point is mate, one is not paying top $ JUST for the colour, well YOU might be, but the unit will bring you far more than that whether you are aware of it or not, in terms of fluidity, purity, soundstage and microdetail. Enjoy!
