JOB, BelCanto, Perpetual, MilleniumDACs?
Subaruguru, don't you think any piece of equipment deserves a little cable shuffling to see what's under the hood? I am using XLO Reference Type 1 and a 2 meter XLO toslink from my Pioneer DVD 525. I really am a fan of the sound I am getting. Also... 
Any advice on CD player upgrade?
Outlier, have you tried a toslink connection between your 525 and the DAC1? If not, please give it a try. There is a mention in the new ST review http://www.onhifi.com/product.shtml Hope this helps. Charlie 
Question for DACs
HuiJames, I'm sorry. I meant to say, in my first post, that I really, really love my DAC1. I find it is like having a whole new library of remastered cd's, except for those that have a lot of hiss or drop off from the master tape or due to poor pr...

Who R U?
Fpeel, you are right. I have over 200 military free fall jumps, and, after enough of them to reduce the adrenaline rush to a level where one can really feel it.....you can try to become Johnathon L. Seagull. A truly awesome experience. And to you,... 
Who R U?
If you can be midfi and still contribute, here goes. I'm 40 and a veterinarian in coastal Georgia. I gained an ear for music early thanks to my parents who made me play 10 years in the orchestra, violin then bass, (so I wouldn't be too much of a r...
