Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!!

dacs that I have had in my system - a listing
@jjss49  Great list! Legit proof (needed by some out there) that all dacs are not created equal. I’m interested in knowing more about your comment above- “dacs are set up in a/b and even a/b/c configuration, easily switchable to allow comparison...

Streamer+R2R dac+True balanced Class A preamp all-in-one?

Streamer+R2R dac+True balanced Class A preamp all-in-one?
I’m not familiar with one- combing those capabilities in one bad and doing it well would be a tall order indeed. The closest device I know of (since you stated R2R) would be from Bricasti Design- not sure of the gain/pre design. Retail on this sta...

When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?
@jjss49  I appreciate the link you posted- this man seems pretty down to earth. It will be nice to see/hear his thoughts while moving upward into higher value reviews/comparisons.   
Shocking Lampizator Service
@nolojunko refers to Fred Ainsley who is also represents the Destination Sound Group. I’ve found that all (Lukasz/Rob/Fred) go out of their way when it comes to supporting the product even when it comes down to simply answering questions. I’m gla...
