| Best route to go for new dac? I own the Topping D90 and found that it greatly improved all aspects of my music vs the Bluesound Node 2i with a DAC built in. The Schiit multibit also look good for the money. Denafrips and Border Patrol are also a good choice. You will find a gr... | |

| Still no real feedback on Cornwall IV - Any update? I was in a dealership that sells Klipsch and he said everybody buys Paradigm and Tannoy instead. Sometimes you have to question the motivation. However, the cabinets, drivers and crossovers are all new in the Cornwall IV. Volti has some im... | |
| Good Entry-Level DAC Try a Topping D90 from Apos Audio. Price matching and returns are allowed and they double the warranty. I added this to the Bluesound Node 2i and changes were significant. Better resolution and detail. Better bass. Better everything in my cas... | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? It is a good thing I can't solder or build cabinets. I would be in a different forum, have a basement full of half done projects and have even less money. | |
