Steve - did you manage to retain any particular views on the Neodio digital system...or did anyone from Lamm or Wilson have any particular comments? From what i read, it excels at tonality/tonal density. Then detail and surprisingly detailed solid bass, perhaps not the full dynamic range of STahl-Tek Opus series.

Any feedback from anyone on WBF is welcome. I have been speaking with someone about the 2-box set, on the basis their advice is that it suits people who like Zanden (me) and vinyl but wish the detail of a DCS.

TBH both times I was in the room he was playing vinyl

Thanks, Steve. I managed to find someone whom i know thru the Audiophile network who was there when they were playing both vinyl and the Neodio. I was surprised to hear it was not so impressive. In fact, this person advised me to keep my Zanden and keep holding out for a second-hand transport.
