Thanks for posting your review Lee.
Really enjoyed reading it. It also confirmed Chris Thomas's recent HiFi Plus review.
Tempts me to trade in my late Scarlatti DAC!
Hopefully Iaxel will see your thread as he is considering buying one.

Thank you Barry for the kind words. It was really hard to send this back. Had I not purchased the Porsche, it definitely would have stayed here.

Hello Lee, your article reconfirms my decision. The piece was a big leap forward for my system.

Great to read the very informative review, Lee - I even learned a few things about the Vivaldi that I was not aware!

Lee, any comments on the performance of the pre-amp/volume control function? In a simple system could one seriously entertain eliminating his pre-amp without a significant drop in SQ?

Yes, it's very high quality imho. I think you could easily use it as a preamp and still get good sound quality.
