    It's a good CDP all around. I was able to compare to the Rega Apollo.... I think I preferred the Rega Apollo most of the way around, but it wasnt a clear slaughter of any kind. Just slightly better IMO.

    Good CDP though, I remember I listened to them also on a pair of ML Vantages and the music drew me in quite easily.

    The 640C has had a number of very good reviews. Much of the credit goes to the multiple DAC filtering process.

    Very highly regarded, semi-budget CDP, for sure.
