This is a high-resolution system with emphasis on analog playback and high-quality digital upsampled playback. It is possible to approach superb analog qualities with a DSD system; there is a 2:1 price to performance ratio needed, assuming that the analog equipment is near the top of the ladder.

I have recently upgraded my phono stage, tonearms and cartridges, preamp, and primary speakers. Now I have the option of surround sound for film, concert video, and sports while maintaining outstanding 2-channel playback at any time. The Lexicon works through the Pass XP-20 unity gain pass through input. Made the wise decision to mount plasma on the wall which greatly increased imaging space.
Babydoc, I have been talking to you on another site and stumbled across your system. Very nice. We have some similarities. I have CLS, Descent i(s), Theater i, and ML in-walls. I also have an Exemplar modified Denon 5910 and it blew away my Mark Levinson ML36/37 and became my 2 channel player. It has a tube based power supply and upgraded wiring and components. You might want to take a look.
