I saw this player from T+A, and obviously, it is another excessively expensive player from Germany. However, one thing caught my eye that it is an SACD transport that does not use HDMI to transfer the DSD signal from SACD, I mean even the Esoteric needs to compromise to the DSD standard made by Sony and stick using the HDMI output in their transport, how does T+A get away with that. By the way, I also tried to find information about this IPA-Link but didn't get much at all, even the shape of the plug is something I never saw. Is anyone familiar with this?
