By the way, guys, I got my cd6 last week and it has broken in nicely. Sounds amazing! Only one nitpick so far. The USB input only upsamples from 44.1 to 88.2, and 48 to 96. That's it. Now, it supports all native bitrates (not dsd)...and curiously it upsamples other inputs and the cd transport to the max (44.1 to 176.4 etc).
My dealer was told by arc that this is by design because it sounded better this way. I don't see how that's true...if the other inputs sound better upsampled, including the cd transport (which uses the same internal clocks as the USB), then why cripple the USB?
But I digress. It certainly does sound great, so maybe I should stop chasing bitrates and enjoy. It's going to go very nicely with my all arc/Wilson system.
