System edited: Replaced the Exemplar/Denon with an APL modded version. The APL has an attenuator circuit that allows it to be connectted directly to the amps--direct connection = more "pure" sound. Digital has never sounded better in my system. The Jade Vermiel ICs are amazing. They added an astounding sense of dynamics and clarity to the system. Will be following up with a shorter IC to try in the direct connection betwee the APL and amps. Also on tap--the new Jade speaker cable.
