Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 on my computer, with an Intel quad I5, and have nothing but superior sound out of a recently purchased D1. I was using it alone, with my Sennheiser HD540 Ref phones, and I loved the sound (not broken in as yet). Last night I plugged my A2's into it using the RCA jacks. Sound is very pleasant, from either the speakers or the hphones, and I will be broken in by the weekend. Very convenient that I can control the speaker volume from the D1, and plugging in the HD540's cuts the speakers out.
I live in a well noise shielded condo, but my den is opposite my neighbors bedroom, and I'm frequently up till the wee hours. He goes to work before 6am, and I use the phones at night. The A2's have always been a joy. I read the first review of them in Stereophile, and bought a pair from their website that day. As most others, I'm amazed at the overall quality, both build and sound. They make a great combo with the D1, and they fill my needs very well. I think it would be difficult to match the musicality of the AE equipment at the prices they ask.
