Hi Spinaltap,

do you have a Prime or have you ever had the chance to test it?

I mean if I am really thinking about spending so much money, I am getting into a region where competition is really hard. You will probably not find anything being able to better an Explorer in the 300 Euros area. The same applies to the Director, although it did not get a five star verdict with WhatHifi due to some competitors.
For 1500 Euros (+) however, you almost get a Benchmark or even almost a DAC 8 (T+A). ....
