I also got to see/hear the Telegartner M12 Gold switch in the SPEC room at Munich (Hall 1):
I didn't get to make a direct comparison with anything else and I wasn't familiar with the SPEC electronics or Fidata server being used. I did however spend 20 mins or so listening to their analogue setup first just to familiarise myself with the sound of the SPEC system. Switching over to digital with the M12 switch in the loop, I felt that the sound had better imaging and weight and I was pretty impressed. So something to investigate further. I've spoken to Marcin Ostapowiz the owner of JCAT (who I also met at Munich) about the possibility of getting a sample unit to test, so will keep you all posted. They also had a cheaper version of the M12 switch which could be interesting too...
