Dahlquist DQ10: best reasonably priced power
I also sold DQ-10's when I worked part time and in the summers for an audio store during high school and college, circa 1980-1982.Wonderful, magical speakers but power hungry indeed - you won't go wrong throwing a massive amp at them.The Apt Holma... 
Re HTC One Android Emphasis on Audio

Mezmo,Thank you - you have elegantly and perfectly articulated exactly what I feared might be happening, as well as confirming previous suspicions that Apple is the new Microsoft.It will take me some time to work out how to best address, my local ... 
iPad "Remote" App for iTunes
Thanks to everyone and in particular to Mezmo, who first gave me the tip for this concept.In my excitement to buy a newer iPad for the remote, I got a message that it would only activate if I downloaded a newer version of iTunes, which I did.The i... 
iPad "Remote" App for iTunes
Can anyone explain exactly how this is working and what affect it might have on the sound? Or is it truly just a "remote"?

From PC / Mac to DAC into Monoblocks, Direct?
Perfect - thank you so much. And I may have been imagining it, but just took the amp out of storage for this project and the whole thing seemed to sound much better last night after > 24 hours of warm up.Nonetheless, fun and convenient to liste...
