thanks everyone...DWPC, or anyone else with educated opinion: how would you compare the OLDer version of the Capitole with the new aero Prima 24/192? i can get a really great deal on a new Prima, save the money, or really stretch and get a used Ca...

.... and now have an opportunity to get a sonic frontiers processor 3, with jitter reducing box, and cables, for 2.5K... (isn't sonic frontiers out of business? would this be hard to service?)

What about the AeroPrima? i could get a new one for a good price... under 2K. would this be somewhat similar to the capitole? do you think the prima would be better than an audionote or zanden dac? 
Digital Front End.. help please

Burn-in and Biasing
I just checked the bias again tonight (around 10:30pm), and it was actually a little under the amount I set it at yesterday afternoon. The acceptable reading is supposed to be anywhere between 275 and 300. I set the bias yesterday at around 285 on...
