Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
As Matt knows, I'm very much into portable audio also.  I have the Mojo.  It's very nice for the price, but I don't like the chunky case. I"m awaiting the new Macntosh DS50 I believe it's called.  I'm hoping I like it more as it also has crossfeed...

There are a ton of good options for everyone's tastes in audio right now.  More than at any time I bet.  It's really interesting once you get away from dealers commercials interrupting threads is that folks want to interact with owners of other pr...

Mark, this thread is about state of the art. Who are you, or anyone to tell folks how to spend their money?  You have no idea what is inside top DAC's and how much they cost to produce.  Please top trolling this thread as it's a long running threa... 
Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade
congrats on the Treo's.  The Quickies are really nice amps, but which Ayre amp are you looking at?  The new Belles Amps told you about will drive the heck out of them and sound great for the price. Give Johnny a call and ask him his thoughts. He s...

Thanks for sharing mark.  
Vandersteens, PSB or something else?
Like Tomic, I'm a Vandersteen owner (Quatro CT's in Havana Black) and have auditioned most of the speakers out there.  We all hear differently, but personally I've heard an incredible theater set up with Vandersteen Quatro's and subs to make a tru...

OP, I would love to hear your thought's on Wilsons, Magico's, B&W, Vandersteen and a few other speakers in your price ranges.  That's the only way that you will ever figure out what you want.  I've seen many folks go audition some speakers the...

Cardas: Cross vs. Reference and Clear
tzh, many of us know it, we just don't discuss it too often.  I made a post last year bout how many of the cables companies are using their raw cable that is made for them by Cardas.  Just because Cardas is making their cables, it doesn't mean the... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Well, since it's all subjective, the law of diminishing returns is up to each and every one of us. That means that no one can tell me or anyone else if the return is worth it.  I can promise you that everyone who's listened to my system with the W... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Dialectric gets loaded up and will negatively affect the sound.  That's what the AQ DBS units do. They don't them them build up if you would.  No expert, but that's basically what happens.  I think some of the major problems high end has had IRT c...

Dave, I know you are a good guy, because Matt vouches for you.  That's all I need.  Will I come in to meet you in person? Someday. I have to as we haven't seen eye to eye on some things and Id' rather do that in person than on a faceless forum.  I...

Off the track as I expected.  First off Dave, I have fallen in love with Vandersteen's for my purposes.  I have been that way about all the gear I buy, just like most of us.  I happen to know many in the industry as I've been into it since the lat...
