Go to the bottom of the page and play the sample. I got this cd and am a firm believer of the technology. I compared with SACD and heard no difference.

Poor mutt! But I guess as long as you don't punish him.

You kidding, he would get a treat. Good boy. No scoldings. I just have to make sure he gets no access to a new cable.

Being that the k701s are so forward, a tube amp will round off the digital harshness and add warmth to the lean presentation. No knock to a SS amp, they are great for Senns, they add a forward presentation.
