Hi Warren,
Thanks for the info regarding the Audiopoints, I will be sure to give them a try. I know just how you feel about the ZU Definitions, I have had mine since mid-December '05 and having passed the critical 250 hour mark of high-powered solid state assault I am now enjoying maximum transparency, speed, dynamics and truth of timbre in combination with the "mouse that roared" the little Yamamoto A-08S with EML solid plate 45s. I am an analog guy but I do need a great digital source for those times when my favourite music shows up exclusively on a silver disc, you are obviously very happy with the Exemplar modded Denon player.
Enjoy,
Aaron
