Audio grade USB cables
The Uptone Audio REGEN does much more than just address the 5 volt power lead. This post is nothing more than a blatant advertisement for the USB Disruptor, and I don't think it is appropriate in this forum. You can buy additional ads to sell your... 
Meitner/EMM Labs Firmware Upgrade = Sonic Bliss
Doggiehowser - I've seen that you've done many DAC comparisons and find it interesting that you find the DS with Yale OS to significantly outperform your EMM DAC. Have you had a chance to hear the Bricasti M1 DAC in comparison? Interested to know ... 
Proac D-30R
While some models in the ProAc lineup are being made in two versions as Zd542 described above, in certain markets only one version may be distributed. For example I believe that in the US the 20, 30, and 48 models are only being imported in their ... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
George - While I appreciate the sound quality of DSD, I believe that digital recordings are best represented in whatever format they were originally mastered in. So to my ears music that was originally mastered in DSD sounds best when converted to... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
DoP stands for 'DSD over PCM', which transmits DSD data via PCM frames. The original DSD data stream is then reconstructed from the data in these PCM frames, and the DSD data is converted into analog.

Custom TT Belt
Unfortunately my Nottingham Dais uses a round drive belt and Origin Live only offers flat belts. I'm a big fan of their products though, since I currently run their top of the line Enterprise-C tonearm and it is absolutely superb!

Excellent point made above by Douglas Schroeder! 
SF AIDA OR EVIDENCE PLATINUM W MOMENTUM PRE & AMP

Preamp for Dan D'Agostino Momentum monoblock amps
I got the 1MOhm input impedance spec directly from the manufacturer's website, and thought they should know. 
Preamp for Dan D'Agostino Momentum monoblock amps
I haven't tried the combination myself, but since the amps have an extremely high input impedance of 1MOhm there shouldn't be any matching compatibility issues.

Mitch - That's what I told you in a previous post regarding their evaluation and return policy. So, what's your opinion on how they sound??? Please share your thoughts, TIA.
