The sales tax on that $108k in many states will add more than many decent CD players.

I've got two weeks to go before I can hear just the Vivaldi DAC in my system. My expectations grow daily.

The review implied death of the $85K Scarlatti stack as the result of the latest dCS flagship. For $20K more, a no-brainer for those considering.

Cincy, please let us know how the Vivaldi sounds as a standalone unit driven via it's USB input! Thanks!

Got an email from the dealer this morning. The Vivaldi DAC is due at his facility tomorrow. He wants to drive it over (cross state) and pick up my Paganini transport and DAC. Hopefully we get that done on Saturday. I'm hearing sleigh bells.

Cool Beans Eric. Like someone mentioned in another thread -- AA members own & buy some damn good equipment.:thumbsup:
