Is EAD still relevant

I have an EAD Ultradisc 2000 in one of my systems and I am quite enamored with it. In fact, I spent a considerable amount of time comparing it to a Sony SACD that was given an A+ rating by Stereophile Magazine at the time. The Sony unit was good, but not the equal of the Ultradisc. I have talked to Greg (as well) and he thinks he can make it even better. If the thing ever breaks down, I'll no doubt give him the opportunity. Till then, I'll continue to enjoy it on a daily basis.

If you think the EAD is good you should hear my old Timbre TT2000 dac.

I have a EAD DSP7000 Mk3 and while it is still a good DAC, it probably is easily outdone by some of the current DSD DAC's on the market. Some of which are not terribly pricey.
I'm going to be looking into some of these DAC's in the near future and will do some shoot outs ( with the EAD). I don't have a lot of expectation for the good old EAD.

Gentlemen,

it is great to hear you guys are still emjoying this brand.
I did not think it was operational any longer? In fact, I had a service center- Boelen Electronics- that I heard was either non-operational or out of business?

Again, enjoy the EAD products. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Greg Palma, of the original EAD, has "Noble electronics" and they service the EAD and have many wonderful mods for the units.
