Yes, yes I needed 5 disc capabilities. This carries 5 discs and ports the signal out to be further processed -- no internal DAC for me. This unit is fully modded BTW to maximize the output.

This is where the signal goes first from the Sony. I have a hybrid cable that takes the signal from here to the DAC. Nifty piece of equipment to be sure.

All you could ask for in a DAC plus HDCD capabilities (yes I have some of these). Just the right piece of equipment.

Fully modded and with Tubes of a particular match up. Specifically: Svetlana EL34s; 12AX7s: Mullards -- they are wonderful -- 12AT7s: Siemens Triple mica (just installed). Other tubes available to roll in but this combo is the one I like the best.

Absolutely marvelous and musical in this system. These are perched the JMR Magic Stands which does take care of the bottome end to a wonderful degree. These really disappear with the rest of the equipment putting sound acrosss a broad and deep soundstage.

Yes, it is vintage and don't think it was easy to find decent cables to fit the

Everywhere. Except at the speakers. These things do make a difference (I think).
