| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 maybe I'll be that guy? As soon as I spend some REAL time with the Canor I'll toss up some comments. It's funny, I went & listened to it, spoke with the guys at the shop who by the way couldn't have been more chill, and I left with one... | |

| Tune of the Day Beastie Boys, "Sabotage" off III Communication - Now wake up to that! | |
| Integrated Amps I took a demo Billie MK II home from my local dealer to try with some Harbeth P3ESR after reading some fantastic reviews. After 2hrs of listening at home I called them and ordered a new one in gold finish no less, lol. I swapped out the JJ ECC99s ... | |
