Thanks Lon. Going to go ahead and add the Blu-spec cds to my cart. Sounds like you are really enjoying Redbook with these new spec discs. I love the idea of better quality CDs, mainly because I have quite a few of them (not compared to you) and CD's sound so darn good on the PW combo.
I accidentally left the ZMA on today and when I got home from work threw on New Moon Daughter. Instant Smile. I have said this before but it deserves to be said again--the PW combo feeding the ZMA direct is so thoroughly enjoyable, it really is a WOW! I am sure my system could be better (replace 944's, add CSP3 etc) but it really is amazing just how it is.
Also, I know the Directstream is on it's way, but folks would be in a great place picking up the PW DAC at half price and not looking back...
