Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant

DAC that beat Mark levinson 360s ??
Up sampling does not mean better sound, I don't know where that is a proven fact. Anyway, what digital cable are you using, that would probably make a bigger difference since the cable passes the sound to your dac, garbage in, garbage out.Happy Li...

Power cord to add ease and tame treble.

BPT Power Conditioner
I tired and tired to hear a difference with the RG 400 unit but to my ears nothing, that being said I know two others who use a Hydra and a Exact Power and they swear by them. There other ways to do this, see some other threads by Sean, Physicanim...
