i've had my C-100 for about 3 months now, and i agree, it's a keeper.

i'm mildly surprised that you're calling it warm. i generally associate warmth with a midrange roundness and rolled off treble, and what i hear from my C-100 on the high end is extended, airy and crystalline, with well-defined tight mids. it has oodles of detail without being analytical.

it doesn't have that soft sound that i think of when i hear the word "warm." when i auditioned the Rega Mira 3 amp to go with my Rega speakers, i heard warmth.. way too warm for me. the C-100 by comparison, is neutral and tight.

likely, my source is affecting my impressions, a lowly Oppo 970. my next upgrade will probably be the Digital Link III that you already have... maybe with the Cullen Circuits mods. that probably won't be for another several months, however.

anyway... LOVED the review... great to read a review that validates my own love affair with this little powerhouse.
