PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR
I wonder how all the measurements would look like now after the windham firmware update. The sound has completely changed and just got even better. Way better 
Initial impressions of the new PS Audio "Windom" download?
My system sounded really good with snowmass but after this recent firmware upgraded its holy crap  good. My system was always a bit to revealing at times and highs a little too edgy. Now it’s just silky smooth with way better imaging and almost 3d... 
CD Transports
I ran several CD players with my direct stream audio Dac and they all sounded the same so I decided to just use a cheap Denon for now. I’ll upgrade to a McIntosh later just for looks  
Relaxed, musical DAC around 2k used?

YBA Signature 4 preamp
I just acquired a YBA signature 4 chassis setup but I’ve not had time to play with it much yet.  
805n B&W speakers. What to pair them best with?
@mckmxcv Silly as this sounds I want them on my desk on either side of my pc about 5ft apart. Yes I know that’s not ideal. However I tried them in my main system first with Bryston 7B st amps 600watts per block and my direct stream ps audio dac al... 
Hey RICH Audiophiles
Jtcf your post right after dobnbav almost killed me. Laughed for a solid two min.  
Some components too old now?
Of all the things mentioned I would say the DAC is the main piece I would upgrade and the CD player last. That or a an updated mid to high end CD player with a better built in DAC than something from 1990.
