Modding the PS Audio Directstream DAC MK1 and MK2
Would enjoy hearing your opinion on Massive final.  I hear a major improvement.

Interesting; however, the mkii sounds better than the mki.  That’s my listening comparison with both having the edcore transformers (no other mods).  Will hear the APS transformers in the mkii soon enough.

I do miss Ted’s input on the PS Audio site. Clearly, it seems to me, a major philosophical change. I don’t like it; however, it’s their site and reputation.  
Tyler Acoustics D20 vs. D1 vs. D10
I have had my D1s for about a year plus now and love them. They are rarely fatiguing (bad, over compressed source only) and the soundstage is to die for. I listen for hours every weekend. I was playing a gospel choir song from a New Orleans compil... 
New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener?
Based upon the great input from the Steve Hoffman web site, I recently purchased a very nice Beatles Blue Box. It is a 1982 version of the Box. Maybe not the Holly Grail but really nice all analog records. The one problem I had with the box is tha... 
Looking for DAC suggestions
I had the Rega DAC. Very nice and well within your budget. I upgraded to the PS Audio PWD MKII which is much nicer but out of yor budget range. Look on AGon for one used. You would be giving him a great DAC for half your budget. Dale 
Rogue 99 Super Magnum
Had mine upgraded several months ago. Think it was 5 bills plus shipping. Worth every penny. Came back like a 5k pre-amp. The improvement was immediately noticeable. Cant sling the bull like others but highly recommended. Don't think Mark advertis... 
"Rubber Soul"
Buy the mono box set! 
Is it worth it to add a 2 channel preamp???
Yes, I did and would not go back. I have a Rogue Super-Magnum 99 with a by-pass switch built in. My home theater receiver is a run of the mill Yamaha. Don't care about movies like I do music. System works great.Dale

Why can't a tape loop output be used? 
Musical Fidelity V-Link with Rega DAC REVIEW
Thanks for your response. Just bought the Rega DAC, next the Mac Mini. Will probably start out using the optical and see how it goes. I intend to use this optical cable: Wireworld Supernova 6 Glass Toslink Digital Cable. It comes with a mini tosli...
