The bidat uses some sort of algorithm that basically I think uses bitstream, but balances both time domain and frequency domain...some sort of compromise adaptive alogorithm.
It sounds real clean to me.
THe delta sigma stuff (all the current dacs) sound smooth, but somehow artficial, after listening to the bidat.
But yeah, the toshiba was good, just not what I was looking for.
I prefer the older CD players that are built like tanks.
