Stereophile:
I highly recommend the CP-800 as a straight, future-proof, two-channel D/A preamplifier. It offers more than its purchaser expects, at a price lower than any would expect to pay.

It's terrific. But I just don't use it enough.
To be honest I have never exploited its capabilities and probably used it for about an hour a week of real, relaxed listening. Time poor you see.
I haven't gotten really into the computer music either.
I have to say though that Classe's claims about brilliant iPhone playback are true IMHO.
44.1 tracks from the phone are incredible through it.
I've used an 18 year old Sony DVD player as CD transport and its also excellent.
Oh yeah, I could do with the dosh too.
So off it goes.

Not yet. But Classé have said that this will be available in the future.
I believe the relevant hardware is already on board. So I think it might be a software thing.
I have updated the firmware recently via a web download. That's a simple USB key operation.
There's also an ethernet port at the back of it which doesn't have a use as yet.
So definitely plans afoot at Classé.
There's lots of stuff about all of this on various forums.
But to be honest I'm not really into the whole streaming thing so I haven't kept up to speed on progress.
I've just used it as an excellent analogue pre amp a DAC and an iPhone upgrade.
Cheers.
