I stumbled across this review of the updated Apple AE. I have used the original version now for 5-6 years now. I have always thought it did a good job but does anyone have opinion on the charts, graphs in this review? I know we have quite a few techs here that can interpret these much better than myself. The newer AE has a updated DAC chip, AKM- AK4430, than my original that has a PCM2705 Burr Brown unit.

i ask as I am thinking about updating to the new version while I'm in the midst of upgrading my system. I know, I know all the analog guys will pooh-pooh this and I get that, eventually I will get back to some vinyl (and get belts for my DOA cassette decks) but for now it's all digital for me.
