IMO the Lyngdorf MP-50 is better than the SSP 800 in all ... | |
| Why can't I find a definition for DSM on a web search? Linn digital streamer / digital front end components are referred to as Linn Klimax DS or DSM, Linn Akurate DS or DSM, Linn Majik DS or DSM. DS=digital streamer in Linn vocabulary. DSM=digital streaming media maybe. I know for sure that Linn DS un... | |
| Affordable Processor with Fabulous 2 Channel ? @freemand The Classe Sigma SSP is optimized for stereo or when used as a stereo preamp and its DAC is very good especially when fed via its USB input. Its USB input by far sounded way better than its other inputs for digital music files. I will gu... | |

| How does the digital bypass on home theater processor work Sorry my bad it turns out that your Mytek Brooklyn DAC Plus has one pair of analog input (rca) that can be configured as either linestage or phonostage input. But your Mytek does not have HT bypass or HT passthrough function. Therefore, you cannot... |
