How good is the xpsdr?

Posted by: wenger2015 on 10 September 2016

After much delay, ( spent most of summer upgrading the house , selling and buying property is a stressful business). So now have a dedicated hi-fi room,and so decided to finally treat myself to the opportunity of owning a brand new Xpsdr.

After listening to so many forum members singing it's praises , and having listened a couple of times at dealers and Bristol show, both times suitably impressed, I am thinking next stage is  to hear xpsdr on ones own system in ones own home.

Box arrived today, it was opened with much excitement and anticipation, only to find NO brundy cable........!!!!!!!!!

Gutted is an understatement........ Dealer subsequently contacted, missing cable will arrive Tuesday next week.....

So come next Tuesday, will I end up disappointed or elated?  when I finally get to hear xpsdr in action? (Xpsdr will be hooked up to a cdx2)

Just a thought:

An XPS DR isn't actually any good at all (i.e. on it's own it can't do anything), but it don't half improve a 272!

Or a cdx2....

I am or rather was one of those sceptic abt how a PSU box costing almost as much as my 272 justify itself worthy of the investment.  I stand corrected tonight...and it feels good to be this wrong hah!

Well worth the rather large hole in ones pocket....
