I've ordered both a Shengya tube CD player and an Ack Dack DAC.  If anyone would like to see the results of a shootout between the following, let me know:

(1) Ack Dack as Dac with Pioneer Elite CD/DVD player as transport v.
(2) Ack Dack as Dac with Shengya CD player as transport v.
(3) Shengya CD player v.
(4) Proceed AVP as Dac with Pioneer Elite CD/DVD player as transport

I can use the same ICs for the Ack Dack as the Shengya for the (1) and (3) comparison.

I guess I should say what the other part of my system is:

speakers:  VMPS RM40s (I can also use Linn 5140s)
the speakers are passively biamped:  Jeff Rowland #10 for top/middle and a Bryston 9B for the lows.

The Shengya (3)  is for my Creek/Mirage system, so I'm hoping that it's not as good as (1) and I'm hoping that (1) is better than (4).

I'd be interested in hearing about the difference between the Shengya with and without the dAck!

I would certainly be interested, that Sheng-ya looks to be a quality piece, and reasonably affordable also - I would like to hear about the different configurations, when you get the time to do it.
