| DAC in a simple system? yes - if you want a tube and have the coin, go for one of Scott Nixon's new ones or a Paradisea. if you just want great sound at a ridiculous price get a Valabs from ebay - satisfaction guaranteed | |

| HELP me choose an AV reciever or processor please Once again - look at the Integra. It is my opinion that there are very few companies who are capable of building this type of unit. I would not summarily dismiss the industry leaders because you will find that you have no alternatives left.As far ... | |

| To get the most from a dac what is required input? Yes it upsamples to 192I wouldn't angst about transports much unless you have a high resolution system that is highly optimized. The easiest way to improve your transport is to move from a platter based unit to a hard drive transport. This will ne... | |
