The 308 paired with the Audio Mirror Tubadour DAC is unreal. (The Pro-ject is my turntable preamp.) I can finally listen to my CDs for hours without fatigue. It sounds so freaking good! Airy, spacious top end that blooms instead of bangs. I'm not sure what a new transport would even offer me so until the 308 dies, I'm good.
I was listening last weekend to Nancy Lamott at a pretty loud volume for me and I kept bracing myself, waiting for my system to hit its limit with distortion or some other nastiness, but it never did. It just sounded moving. It just played the music. It gave me exactly what I wanted and I knew there was more room for it to get better if I wanted it to. I've never had such a pure music experience before with my system. Good times, baby!
