In response to a suggestion from another Audiogoner who has similar equipment, I bought a P-1A D/D, with Monolithic Pwr. Sup., on their money-back trial plan.
I used the unit with my CEC TL-1X/Chord DAC64 combo. Apparently my old ears aren't sufficiently golden, because I couldn't hear an improvement, or at least one that would justify the additional expenditure. So the units were returned.
I also have a Burmester 001 player, and as far as I'm concerned, a comparison of it vs. the CEC/Chord is a toss-up. I'm extremely satisfied with both. (I bought the Burmester after having sent the PT stuff back, so I have no way of knowing if its performance would be improved with the P-1A.)
