Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Charles1Dad, you may not believe it and say that it is hype but we have compared the Dac 8 to more expensive dacs and when driven correctly the sound is really awesome. If you check out John Darko's review of the Dac 8 Mr. Darko compared a $4k T+A...

No Dlcockrum, we haven't heard the Terminator, if it sounds close to a Formula, and then the Formula is then improved that moves the Forumula out ahead doesn't it?There is no denying that the Terminator may be one of the best affordable dac's but ...

Snopro, listen to a T+A Dac 8 DSD we have found nothing under $10k that can touch it, use a fast Core 7 Computer with  Jriver set the program to output 16/44 to DSD 512  and sit back and enjoy. It is freakishly good sounds like a good $10k analog ...

Snopro, you are not correct on the Forumla vs the Terminator.The Formula was recently updated with new technology and Sarjan was running the original Formula. When Six Moons reviewed the Terminator vs the Formula this was the original Optologic bo...

yyzsantabarbera we know the Uber Luxman and we haven't tested it. The Luxman gear is very good, however, we sold the brand for years, liked it a bit better than the Hegel gear which we also sold.The T+A 2500R is the most remarkable semi affordable... 
MA252 + Bluesound Node 2 + DAC? Or Naim Uniti Atom/Star?
The Cambridge 851N is a great looking, okay sounding streamer. The sound quality is nothing special.  We had the CD version of this player and it never sounded great. The Lumin D2 is way better sounding. The Micromega M100 connects to Spotify and ... 
MA252 + Bluesound Node 2 + DAC? Or Naim Uniti Atom/Star?
Wcniedba, take this as you wish, we are Naim dealers and not Mcintosh so you can make up your mind on our findings. We listened to the Mc252 at another dealers shop, and we were not impressed, the unit felt light weight and its styling although st...

Speaker recomendation
Keoliphant, thank you so much for the kind words really appreciate it.As per the PS Audio stuff, we haven't heard it or tested it vs our setups so we can't really comment on how it actually performs.The point we make is that with the Monos at $15k... 
Am i missing something without a power conditioner?
Ralph, very few real audiophiles want an industrial, discontinued power regenerator, especially one that would or might need service from a company that really doesn't care about the consumer market way too impractical.Also we have tested regenera...

Ron there are better feet than the stock feet, and we are talking about an aftermarket power cord as well as a high quality usb cable, we actually have the best USB cable on the market and it is not from a traditional cable company and we do recom...
