I can't say too much on the Dac 09 at the moment - check with GF if you can return it if you don't like it. I believe they do have some kind of policy. I think it's an upgrade of basic cd players and has a lot of pluses and if you go to the Canuck Audio Mart forum which is the Canadian forum under DACs there is a pretty massive thread there about this DAC. The naysayers of course troll there - but none of them have actually listened to it. But I'm used to that. :-)
