The Reeses Cup: components that come together perf

Your thoughts betray you, or is that simply a lightsaber in your pocket?

Personally, I like Benchmark DAC1 married with ATC actives. The thin sound of the DAC1 in the lower mids (compared to other digital sources) seem to mate well with ATC's. Detail is accentuated without any digital "harshness" although subjectively it makes the ATC's sound closer to horns.

Actually, I am surprised not to see more suggestions from the SET or OTL's + Horns camp....although Albert seems to be thinking horns.

BongoB,

You are going for some heavy rotation there - you need a good streaming source for a warmer liquid sound - something like the Fergie CDP

Well I don't know about your WAF acceptance factor but a Fergie CDP is one helluva a CDP.
