If you're enjoying the music, what your system is doesnt matter.
I still can't see how this is worth £4200:

I use ALAC. FLAC and WAV sounding the same. What software you using?
Lossless I-tunes for CD rip and Windows media player for every thing else.

So you're using ALAC too?
**** ME that's the weiss WOW $6800 for half a box of air...
What format then, just ALAC (Apple lossless) is native to most apple devices.
Ash,
I really can't believe you are willing to dispute what John Westlake is telling you. He's the gifted engineer, you are a salesman.
I see your lapdog darren has made a return to your threads...
He's not even qualified!
Martin was designing DACs for military applications in the early eighties, AVI had its first in '91 and a year later we had a licence to manufacture CD players and produced our first. We not only designed it from scratch rather than use a Philips kit, but also wrote all the software in house. The DACs were 20 Bit Burr Brown in dual co-linear configuration, so similar to the expensive Naim now. Paul Miller reviewed it for hi fi News and Geoffrey Horn for Gramophone, both were very flattering and noted that the measurements were textbook. As a result the Burr Brown engineer came over from Japan to visit us and compare our efforts with his reference DAC. He couldn't hear any difference and congratulated Martin on his efforts.
We subsequently designed another 8 odd CD players before discontinuing them in June 2006 for a better solution that sells in far larger numbers.
It takes a properly trained and qualified engineer who has worked in a disciplined environment to do a proper job, or it certainly did back in the nineties, now any idiot can copy the chip manufacturers instructions because they are so simple, although some do still screw up.

Rubbish!
I'm not taking that sort of cheek from anyone.
BTW we're about to introduce a new product. They are twice the power of yours, they produce 3000 Watt peaks, produce more bass, are half the size and quarter the price.
We can do it because we've kept pace with developments and because we have the enngineering skills.
Ash
PS. Remote control, multiple digital inputs, DAC etc.
Low ball Ashley, even by your standards. Makes you look like a right tit.
