Hi,
I also have a CEC TL1-X and a Chord DAC, the combination has been wonderful, sure the Accuphase DP-85 and the Audio Aero Capitole Special edition are a league of their own, but the Chord DAC is a wonderful piece of machinery, but you have to have at least 20 hours of break in time before you really start to listen...also I have sold my Chord to take ZANDEN which is the closest you can get to the Elgar DAC. Best regards, Joe
