Thank you both for your suggestions... I have put approx. 300 hours on my dAck 2.0 so far, so it may be that it could use even a bit more time, for I did get the "high resolution" option with mine. It has plenty of extension with the simple Sony dvd player I have been using with it lately. The filterless design does some things extremely well, excelling in the area of texture, clarity, and detail. Transient attack is another area where it stands out. Compared to my previous Resolution Audio Opus 21 player, the dAck 2.0 only seems to lack a bit of the natural decay of the notes in the ambience of the music. This may have something to do with the upsampler on the Opus 21 excelling in that respect, especially on some of my older recordings.
I would like to be able to get this new system off the power grid completely, and would like to be able to find a good sounding battery powered transport for the dAck. The amp I am using is a custom made battery powered 40 w.p.c integrated gain clone amp made by Peter Daniel of the Amp Zone fame. It is a modified version of the Audiosector integrated amp he has advertised on his site. The speakers I am using with it currently are 3A MM DeCapo i's. They mate wonderfully together...
I see that Vinnie at Red Wine Audio has a battery powered transport in the making, and I am hoping that it will be within my budget. Until then, I will have to keep trying some others you have mentioned. Thanks again, and keep the suggestions coming!
