EVS Millenium DAC 2 ?
You must have glanced over it, the page for the EVS M2 clearly states the chassis dimensions to be 14" by 11" by 3.25". http://www.tweakaudio.com/Millennium%20DAC.html>>>Millennium DAC IIUpdate: Most people know that op amps have sonic li... 
Question about break-in method for interconnects
You're probably correct that "carrying a signal between the pre and amp" is probably enough. Though I always try to "break stuff in" using a full running system, myself. (source to speakers). Under ideal conditions I'd think you'd want to have the... 
Will people buy Snake Oil?
The break-in period has me worried, though.... I too will be interested in the battery powered warmer as Ctyler suggested. And you thought IC break-in periods were too long, lol. I better not have to wear this stuff on my ears for >50hrs before... 
Audio Alchemy Remote Question
You might get lucky and find source files for the controls on one of the enthusiast sites for learning remotes. For example I found these codeshttp://www.remotecentral.com/files/c-audioalchemy-preamplifier1.htmFor my AA DLC. You might find the sam...

rack recommendation
You could check out this thread on A'gon. -->http://audiogo5.iserver.net/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1001889380&read&3&4&&Users 'Dave43' and 'Caterham1700' both weigh in on their different "project racks" if you don't mind the D... 
DVD-A WIZ-Bang-Boom
No kidding A/V and music are separate. I don't even _own_ a TV set. :-) I haven't heard DVD-A yet, myself. But I have fielded questions among my non-audiophile friends as to why we need DVD-A when they thought Metallica's S&M on DVD-Video soun... 
DVD-A WIZ-Bang-Boom
What was wrong with 24/96 PCM on DVD-Video discs? Surely that was good enough for the mass-market? 
Beware of PayPal

Any cassette sources left with decent selection?
cdnow.com has cassettes, I believe. Although the selection isn't too compelling. The Coconuts Music stores near me have a decent selection of cassettes, esp Jazz (at least my store does), but the prices are a little high, although nowhere near as ... 
Can CD Players be altered to play CD-Rs
I was under the impression that the inability to play computer CD-R's or RW's was the fault of the transport's optics. CD-R aren't as reflective as reglar CDs. And CD-RWs are much worse, from what I've been lead to believe. You could try experimen... 
Which HT Receiver would you buy?
If this setup is for HT only, I'd buy the Outlaw receiver and the separate 5 channel amp. My brother's friend has this setup. He liked the external amp because it is very muscular. It reminds me of the Hafler or Ati 5 channel amps. You could proba... 
Best XM Radio Receiver sub 500
I, too, have seen the car tuners, but was wondering if something other than the one sony existed for home use. Though I may pick up a car tuner, if the selection of tunes and the sound quality is CD, or better. It wouldn't need to be audiophile-st... 
What do you think of Nakamichi in general ?
I'm really fond of their tape decks.... That's what Nak built their reputation on, IMHO. I have an Nakamichi MR-2 Professional tape deck. It has fantastic build quality and good sound. I use it to pay recordings of my live music performances from ... 
XM Digital Satellite Radio- What's the scoop?
Don't feel bad. I just posted on another thread on this topic (XM radio tuner). I'm listening to Channel 42 "XM Liquid Metal" right now at work. It sounds good enough on these Altec Lansing speakers. Even with these pathetic sub $50 speakers I can...
