Whatever. I've run this stuff through my nice Rega cdp too and it's not that different. When I can throw my whole cd collection on my iMac and put whatever I want on my iphone I don't have to dick around with cd's anymore. I don't have the time or inclination to be a true audiophile. I'm just running some newer Lascalas, Rega amp and preamp and a nice tight HSU sub. I'm sure most of you guys have way more killer systems than mine. I'm okay with less than perfection as I'm dividing my time between work, kayaking, climbing/hiking, girlfiend and stereo.
I still use my cd player when I feel the need and a Phillips turntable when I want pops and scratches.
