Thanks for the nice review link Russ.
You know me - I try hard not to "hard sell" our products and I let them speak for themselves so I try not to write too much about them but Geoff hears "it" the way I do. Maybe because he also own stuff that I like (a bunch of dynavectors, and a musicmaker 3 ...) hehehe
The Droplet is a cdplayer that cuts into the heart of the music making. Now that I have heard it with the Avatar 2 for about a month, it is really special in the way that it doesn't really sugar coat music with sweetness or generic warmth to catch one's attention - and yet it has an unusual musical coherence that gives organization and harmony to complex music, revealing astounding interplay between musicians that is rarely heard from digital playback systems regardless of price. In a way this thing sounds more like a zero oversampling player instead of the upsampled 24/192 that it is.
