Enlightened Audio designs

Tex, I'm in agreement with Sam. If you decide that the upgrade is for you, then what I can tell you is that going from a I to a III will be a BIG improvement. Sam is also right about the glass input - mine does have that (I use it with my Proceed PDT-3 transport which has AT&T out). But there are so few sources with glass out anymore that it shouldn't be a huge issue for you. The Toslink input is quite good, as Sam indicated.

BTW, that upgrade price is great.

I've sent them an email, I'll keep you all posted, Thanks for all the help!!!!!!!!

good to see an EAD thread.This stuff was always some of the best digital out there.

I think being in the TMD center of the country may have affected the companies ambition.
Once TARA bought them and displaced all but a couple of people it was just a matter of time before they became
D-EAD.
Still got 2 pieces and love them

Agree that it's good to see an EAD thread. I love my 7000 Mk 3 DAC and with my Philips CD80 as a transport and a Harmonic Tech Platinum Co-ax connect, this is a formidable combo. I've A/B'ed it against stuff from Musical Fidelity and the latest Pioneer Elite, it just killed both.
