Thanks Ronnie - are those rankings based on head to head listening to the analogue and digital outs of the various products, or your reasoning as to what ought to sound better based on what you think is in them? Is there somewhere where M say that they have put better DACs in the MS600?

Btw, this is pure curiosity - I have absolutely zero intention to try or buy an MS600.

MC200, Twinstore, 808v6/ID41 -> DSP8000SE (+ SB Touch, Sony BDP-3300, SKYHD, legacy cassette player)
2nd system: MC200 analogue out, Linn LP12, SB3 -> Quad 34 -> M60 rosewood
