Best used dac under $2000

The French being anti-war has nothing to do with it. It's because they're still so damned ashamed the British and Americans saved their asses and their country in WWII, they feel they have to do everything contrary to the policies of the US.

I don't like McCain because his ultra anti mixed martial arts policy is very hypocritical being that he has boxing interests. He says he's based this on a few minutes of brutal footage he's seen of no hold barred fighting such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship. But really, when it comes to the aspects of combat and violence, how different is boxing from mixed martial arts? Just because he doesn't like something he doesn't have to lobby governors outside the state of Arizona not to sanction NHB events.

Anyone want my Hermes?

"You ever here of Plato? Socrates? ...MORONS!"

Wow, that's interesting that you preferred the MF over the Bel Canto and Chord. Maybe it's because I just haven't heard enough about it. I've only had experience with the Bel Canto DAC 1.1 and my current Kora Hermes which I love.

The people at CES told me they thought the Hermes 2 was a big step up over the one I have. Although the exterior appearance hasn't changed, the innards are supposedly completely different.

Right on, Mdominick and Zaikesman. We should make a distinction between French policy and beautiful French DACs like the Hermes! I was just venting my contempt for France's attempts towards become relevant in this world once again. Conversely, I'm also ashamed at how we [The US of A] throughout the past fifty years seem to have no trouble affecting the leadership of foreign countries when their politics impede our interests.

I often hear this term from French people called "French Pride". I think Hitler packed it so far in with the rest of their fudge they're still looking for it. This UN posturing is one way of them trying to reclaim it.

I've always wanted to hear the Muse, Chord and Bel Canto DAC2 in my system.

Rhyno, I managed to find a review of the Entec Number Cruncher DAC, is that the one you own? It seems very good, and to have sound qualities I value.

But, a $7000 DAC selling for $800 used? This seller may not share your opinion Rhyno. That, or is it because it's an older unit?

And saying that the Entec 1.1 will kill any of the aforementioned DACs sounds pretty black and white to me. That or very shortsighted, considering how components can be so system dependent.
