Wow, This was the system I started out with a couple of years ago. I agree that this setup is wake up your senses... Of all the Totem speakers that I listened to, I fell in love with the Model 1s (compared to the staff, arro, forest, hawks)
If you have a chance to get a Chord DAC64 with the Planet, get it. You will be blown away, and won't be able to part with it. I replaced the Planet with a CEC TL1 transport this year... The CEC and Chord combo is one of the better transport/DAC combo that I have listened to so far.
By the way, this you by any chance go to Audioville in Montreal for your equipment?
