100% USA designed & made DAC
I doubt there’s any American designed and built DAC that has all American parts in it.  Just like GM is an American company, but it’s vehicles are built from parts from all over the world and they are assembled in several places outside of the US.... 
How many people do you think have the same DAC, amplifier, and speakers
Oh, and @oddiofyl  BEAUTIFUL amp! I’m betting it makes those Forte’s sing! I’d love to try a 300B amp someday.

Hegel H390, Denafrips DAC, KEF Reference speakers. I bet one or two others have the same setup.

Does Equipment Break In, or Does Our Hearing Adjust?

New! Cerious Technologies Lumniscate cables
I emailed Bob from Cerious and he sent me the prices. The Lumniscate line are comparable  to AQ or Cardas top of the line cables in price. All the best. JD

Listening to Jeremy Pelt, Identity  Only listened to a couple of his albums so far, but I’m thinking that tonight is going to be a Jeremy Pelt night.  
Whats playing on your system today?
Just listened to Red Hot Chili Peppers newest album, Return Of The Dream Canteen. It’s their second album this year! If you’re a RHCP fan, give it a listen.  
Considering Towers in the $3000 range
@mrskeptic  It took me about 7 months before I was able to hear a pair of those and the the One R’s. My dealer couldn’t get them and when he got some they were sold and delivered to the buyers.
