Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA
Hi, i just heard of 306 SACD PRO.Does it have a volume control? 
Cambridge Audio 840C
Has anyone compared CA 840C with Cary 306 or 306/200 or Wadia 850? 
Has Anyone heard The Wadia 581i se CD player?
I thought it doesn't hurt to compare one player to another.A little input from a person who has heard many players also says a lot about 581 se.Someone who heard many Wadias can say "581se is better in this or that area, etc."That's why i put it i...

how good are the non os dacs?
I own Audio Note DAC2.1 Signature.Non OS DAC.I am more than pleased with the sound.It is more body,more natural, and also a bit warmer than other digital gear i have heard.BUT...this does not come at the expense of dynamics.Dynamics is still great...

Stereophile - MF Supercharger article-add 550W/ch.
I have to agree with Atma.Tubes do sound natural, and SS amps don't.I don't know how to explain it, but it is what i hear in a second.There are good SS amps, but they always (at least the ones i heard) lack timbre and natural-sounding vocal that S...
