Thanks for your impressions ASA. I would like to know if you had the opportunity to compare your 808.2 to a G08 btw (to know a bit more/better your views).
I am curious too about the CD transport on the new 808.3... still the same IDE-DVD Rom unit as used on 808, 808.2 (and G08)?
I used to own a G08, which I first had with DSP 5ks before getting my DSP 7200s. It was very obvious that the G08 was stopping the speakers from achieving their full potential. The 808.2 was a huge step forward which many here found difficult to understand until they heard the player at HH2. I have never owned an 808.1.
The CD drive looks identical on the 808.2 and 808.3 but that does not mean that they are identical.
