Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000
Do u have to have a rack mounted system? IME, 24/192 is as good or better than DSD ADC, depending on the other components used, their quality, and synergy. For vinyl ADC conversion, why not use the Pure Music/Pure Vinyl software? It is excellent. ... 
Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo
Most spinners only transport 16/44 signal, not hi res.Even the new ones like the high and might Jay's CD Transport that is hyping on a nearby thread. Typically you have to pay a few grand even for a new or used proper SACD/CD Transport. No, I dont...

Are subs worth the price for music?
Well, maybe the Speaker can go down to 26 Hz,but your source, amp, and all PCs, ICs, and SCs will need to carry that clean and low of a signal to get you that 26 Hz to your ear. Also, If the bass player/musician, or the music you listen to is not ... 
Tube Pre-Amp, vs Solid State with Tone Controls/EQ to take edge off the top end?
Generally speaking, its best to avoid ...using Tone Controls unless it is a well-reputed high end audio piece. Luxman, BAT, etcI thought Pass made an Integrated 250w amp?--SimAudio, they make high-end integrated. --Rogue Audio, Vincent Audio: both... 
In need high-efficency speakers
If I remember correctly, the Klipsch Heresy IIIs and its Klipsch cousins in that price range are a bit light on the low end. Only go down to 50-55 hz or so. Keep the Mystere’, IMO, that should be the anchor of your system, as you are. I have had a...

Schiit not that Good?
Sorry, I dont understand:Why would anyone expect a $1,000 system sound better than a $50,000 (or more) system?But if you look at this as purely a bang for buck question, the Schiit wins outright.

Anyone using a Class D amp w/ribbon tweeters?
@mapman interesting what you say about the Bel Canto C5i (same for the C7?), that has been on my list of "all in one" units to pick up and play with as an extra system in another room. I was worried that it might have some upper end grain.
