It is pretty easy to tell which I like better when I live with them for a while.

For a second there I thought you were referring to women!!

The cheapest way I have found to improve the sound of the Piano is to use this power cord for $30.

These are pretty special, I can see why folks ask Seth about creating a DAC separately based on this chip...

Count me in. I *hope* a DAC is in the works and Seth is keeping quiet for obvious reasons.

After a week of pretty much continuous play, man oh man this unit is sweet!!

OzarkTom....thanks for the tip on the power cord!!! Best and easiest way to take it all up a notch for sure.

OK.. Recap. Seth hit a home run with the Piano. I have two Sensations and I still feel the Piano is the best product Virtue produces.
I am trying to be a hard drive dude. Ain't happening. Expensive DACS , M2Tech USB thingy not.
My reference listening is not happening here in KC unless I am putting CD's in my Piano.
I love my Eastern Electric DAC as it makes beautiful music but my Piano may just be the most value on the planet for the bang for your buck I have ever known.
My original post still stands.
This has to be the most analog sounding Digital player ever.
thanks for looking,
Tom

I have now owned my Piano for approximately a month and could not be more pleased! It has such a beautifully sweet sound from its own DAC that I have yet to use my system DAC, a transformer-coupled magiDAC.

The Piano output is fed to my Virtue One, thence to several different balanced headphones via the speaker terminals.

The sound is stunning with all of my phones. I will soon be returning to Virtue's order desk for my Virtue 2.2 and battery power supply!
