Do I need a DAC?
MDHT Labs is the best Dac in 300-500 dolars price range. You will be very surprise by the sound. Usually a 300-1000 dollars DAC will NOT make a lot of difference. BUT this MDHT Labs DAC is different.I tried the Musical fidelity $800 DAC and had to... 
Feedback on the current Reference 3a changes ?
I use push and pull bat vk - 60 which I think a bit too powerful for the De Capo. I sounded too harsh for the tweeter.I think a 20 watts SET amp will be very good for De Capo. 
Do I need a DAC?
You need DAC. MDHT labs tube DAC is a verryy good DAC only cost about $300-$500 on ebay.

SET amp...Shindo, triode, airtight will sound good 
Small Speakers For A Large Room...
KEF LS50. Its small but sound big, sweet and musical.You will definitely like it. 
Harbeth Owners which model?
Bobheinatz, I strongly suggest you to try the Tannoy prestige line after you audition the Harbeth.I Tried the SHL5 and 7es3 before but after I listen to Turnberry SE and Kensington SE, I never look back. They really amazed me especially the Kensin... 
Harbeth Owners which model?
Am also considering Harbeth for my 2nd system. But try to listen to Tannoy Turnberry SE. You will never forget the sound. 
Harbeth 30.1, odd USA pricing?

Tower sound fuller and thicker. 
Vac Phi 200 vs. Audio Research Reference 75
I will take Phi 200 without hesitating.You dont even need to listen to both these amp. Just open up and see the inside you will know why I will buy the VAC instead of Ref 75.Vac phi200 is 2k more expensive than Ref 75 tough. 
Is the Harbeth M30.1 an upgrade from the C7ES?
Why would you sell your C7es3 at discount, pay m30.1 in full and yet not much of an upgrade?
