My wallet wasn't even thinking about the future BH SE/OII when it made this move for me. I may need to sell off my dynamic rig after all to offset this cost...

Did you have an opportunity to audition one?

I do hope you fully enjoy its presentation!

As an aside and seeing that it is their entry level platform, you have your upgrade path established
I haven't heard any dCS gear yet, this will be my first sample. The good news is that dCS and Arcam are right next door to each other (and Arcam used a mini-Ring DAC in three CDPs too) so I'm hoping for an uber-Arcam-like sound.

The rest of the dCS line is definitely way beyond my reach, I would need to either save up for like 2 years (and live like a monk during that time) or rob a bank to afford anything beyond the P8i. I think robbing a bank would be more effective...
