| Rotel RCD-1070 replacement I've heard the Rotel RCD-1072 and it sounds great. You can find them for about $400 used. | |
| How is online radio so transparent? I listen to jazz on internet radio via PC into a USB DAC on my decent quality secondary rig, and most stations sound mediocre at best. Internet radio becomes unlistenable when listened to on my (very revealing) reference system. I find that I have... | |

| Tube buffer for an Oppo BDP-83 Sorry, make that an "Oppo DV-980h" and "Anita O'Day".......Spell Check, oy..... | |
| Tube buffer for an Oppo BDP-83 Maybe not quite the same, but I have an Opp DAV-H and I output the digital feed into my old CAL Sigma tube DAC. I run the Sigma into my ARC LS-3 preamp and I'm getting beautiful sound from the DVDs (I am running a Doge 6 for red book CD). Right th... | |
