I am just running my ZStage from my Mac Mini into my ZMA, so basically just streaming and internet TV stuff. It is night and day, 2-D to 3-D difference. Pure sparkling presence and prominent low end. I bought a bunch of Decware gear all at once and was a little perplexed as to how I would use the ZStage. No longer. I'll give it a shot in line with my vinyl chain, but it has already earned its keep sparkling up my admittedly amateur digital signal. Nice.
