Pa10in and Bvdman,
I think you should consider auditioning the Neodio NR22T CD Transport and the NR22D DAC,and you will be in for a treat and surprised the same time. They are ahead of the Vekian combo. Their NR22 stand alone CD Player won 5 out 5 stars from the Haute Fidelite review. The combo has a cult following in Asia (check the Audio Exotic forum). They have the most analog sound that I have heard to date , prediod. If you still wonder, please check with Peter Brem of Da Vinci Audio. The combo are his digital reference, and this is someone who is known to be a vinyl head.
