| 1K dac I think that you should look into a Scott Nixon Tube DAC any other model that he offers. These are all non-oversampling DACs, just FYIhttp://www.scott-nixon.com/ | |
| how can a cheap cd drive equal a fine transport? The best transports produce a data stream with less error, or jitter. the above statement is the flaw in your thinking, Lloydc (the jitter part is right tho'). The fact is that even the $35 el-cheapo DVD unit from Walmart will read a disk with zer... | |

| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? they are as obsolete or not depending upon the quality of the programming material where you live - if you are lucky & have a lot of good FM programmes then you could benefit from a FM tuner; otherwise, not.Technically, it appears that FM tune... | |
| Which of these would you prefer? I'd go with the Green Mountain Audio Eos personally. I've had personal experience w/ this particular company & I like the speaker designer, his products & most importantly the way the music sounds thru Green Mtn speakers. These are 1st ord... | |
