    You just gotta love the fact that the general consensus was/is
    a tube output on the front end (source) wasn't significant.
    Two of the heavy hitters must think it makes a difference...

    Jesse, I thought you'd get a kick out of the Cary's adjustable upsampling set up. They both look good too!

    I think that a tube output stage CDP is certainly an upgrade in many areas, to some people but that a tube Pre-Amp is a much better choice for a core piece of gear.

    A tube CDP cannot make a crappy system sound better but a tube pre-amp can definetly have a much larger cumilative effect on performance IMO.

    Agreed, Mark.
    One byproduct of this need to get into the specialty CDP market though seems to be attention to detail and linearity.
    Did you notice both of those cdp's have s/n ratings over 120db?
    The blacker the background early in signal generation makes equipment matching a serious job. Continued propagation of a cleanly generated signal will depend even more heavily on equipment downstream as you stated.

    Yaman, that's hardcore. I love the ability to switch between output stages as that's as A/B as it can possibly get....and only a button away. Those are two great pieces of gear, hands down.

    I think the Cary is a tube rollers dream beings it has a quick access panel for tube changes, real neat feature.
