UK price is £549 and to be honest, I'm stunned it's still available after SIX YEARS in a fast moving market.
I'd still say it's transparent enough sonically, but the price isn't good. Haven't they changed hands during this product's life?
One final thing as regards price I think you've all missed. It's sold via retailers!!! All 'our' favourites here come direct I think, so the thick end of the selling price of this unit would go to he dealer and US distributor. Sold direct from the factory or a high sales volume supplier as per Topping or Schiit for instance, it'd be a quarter to a third of the retail price and that would make it fair value for a 2014 design I reckon.
