Ipod Dock with direct out?????
I would like to point out though that Wadia's bit for bit could be the bit for bit in picture Those bits don't know if they are audio or video. :)You seem very set on dismissing the Wadia. Look if the Wadia contains that kind of DSP that can reduc... 
Ipod Dock with direct out?????
Nrostov,It goes beyond a stretch to call that comment hostile, but let's get beyond that.Like the claims of MSB, Wadia also makes claims of delivering bit perfect data. The link you provided that shows the "bad" data coming from the iPod I highly ... 
Ipod Dock with direct out?????
Nrostov, in what way was my response hostile?Also, where did I say jitter doesn't matter? As I have already stated, if one uses a DAC that reclocks the signal, jitter is being dealt with just as the MSB. Keep in mind that the Wadia bypasses the DA... 
the cheapest amp to drive watt/puppy 7
I tied a Jeff Rowland Concentra II on W/P 7's and it was a terrible match, which surprised me. The MA2275 is a wonderful integrated IMO. 
Ipod Dock with direct out?????
The MSB Ipod doc is much better than the Wadia. They actually re-clock the digital signal so that they reduce jitter to almost zero. These statements have no merit. Seeing that the iTransport hasn't been delivered to people yet you are making spec... 
I Feel Overwhelmed....Please Help
Tube integrateds that come to mind within your budget (used) are the Manley Stingray and I have a friend that I believe is selling an Audio Note Soro in the near future. 
Classe vs mcintosh

C45 vs C220 premplifier
I agree with Onhwy61. Also, the original poster is obviously not aware of all the preamps being offered by McIntosh. 
Classe vs mcintosh
What B&W speakers do you own? Or are the B&W's just what the store was using? 
Risk in owning used McIntosh amps?
Go to McIntosh's Web site and select the Owners link at the bottom left, then select the McIntosh Service Network link in the middle of the page. From there you can get a list of authorized McIntosh service centers closest to you. Or, if you chose... 
Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed?
Very well said Randyhat. 
Musical Fidelity A5 CDP
I believe I am a bit in the minority as many people really like this CDP, but I never liked it; I replaced it with a Meridian G08. 
audio note meishu = which seperates?

Digital Cable suggestions
That is quite a list. The Atlas Opus is from Joe? What did you think about the Wireworld Gold Starlight and what version was it? (They currently advertise is as Gold Starlight 5.) 
Digital Cable suggestions
What other cables have you tried Tobias? I have sent Joe an email about his cables but haven't heard from him yet. I am also interested in the Pure Note Vangaurd; they have a 20 money back guarantee that is appealing.
