Lure of the new, I bought the heavily discounted Cambridge 851D, so far so good. Read couple of reviews of my P5 specifically on stereophile.com led me to seek better performance from my iTunes music library. (No Tt, no vinyl).
Running USB 2 out of my Mac Pro (early 2008) even I can hear the improvement. P5 still looks look in the rack, with only the power connected, everything else running into the 851D. Believe the discount on the 851D is due to no DSD, no problem.
Couple of pics because I like looking at other people's stuff too.
As always wit & wisdom welcomed.
For the record, the 851D has asynchronous USB, very nice volume control, easy screen and menu selection, music sounds better playing my mostly CD collection out of iTunes. No intention of trying vinyl, I'll probably keep the P5 jic....
