| My head hurts.... Mjcmt said:"Musicfile,I must state once again to really consider an outboard dac with a computer or cheap DVD player as your transport. This is the future."I concur with Mjcmt. Some of us may not want a computer in the listening space, but wired a... | |
| Wadia 170i and Benchmark Dac1 - anyone try it? The way I read his question is that he wants to use his iPod in home and car and he has a Benchmark and wonders if the Wadia will be a good iPod transport to interface with his DAC. He mentions CDPs, but his question and his followup clarification... | |

| Wadia 170i and Benchmark Dac1 - anyone try it? 11-12-08: Teddy_bear"Dave, maybe you are getting old :)"Hah Teddy, I think you're half right, but I think that the reason my Wadia sounds so good with lossless is the reclocking and upsampling routines of my excellent DAC, which is also applied to... | |

| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Hah, that's funny about Audiofil vs. Audiofeil.

| ICE amps need cooling? The H2Os aren't the only Class D amps with "hefty power supply".Dave |
