I love my Playmate, but I also love what everybody writes about Conductor. Maybe one day it will sit on my desk too. Conductor + Heddphone is what I am dreaming of. For now, I am happy as never before THX mate.

How does it compare to Chord Dave?

The Conductor 3 (in my case the 3X) Reference is nicely described here, Barra. Excellent review.

Awesome review!

Sorry but I am over seeing things like "it sounds better than it's 2k price point" ------ there is NOTHING that should cost that sort of money, and there is no way in hell it can be justified. let alone quantify the cost to sound. i think the audiophile community have let ourselves get brainwashed into this crap. just like the whole, Diamonds are worth the money they cost because that's also a total scam. it's all smoke and mirrors and things cost what we will pay.

However, outside of that nice write up.

and i dont put that on you anyway, it's the industry that is responsible for such asinine nonsense.
