I am putting together a system from the ground up, and while I am almost certain that I will be getting the CEC TLOX transport, I am at a loss as where to start in terms of auditioning DACS, it having been quite some time since last bought anything digital. I have received recommendations of Orpheus, Weiss, Audio Aero and several others, most of which cannot be auditioned locally. For me to travel significant distances to listen to something that will most likely be badly set up, in a questionable system/environment, I'd prefer a better plaudit than "sounded good at CES" or somesuch. So, if anyone on this site is having good experiences with a unit presently available - absurd sampling rates are not required, just as organic a sound as possible - I'd very much like to hear about it.
