| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @soix Thank you for your post and your point is well taken. I'm against extra boxes on principle, but maybe further investigation is warranted here. | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? If you already own a DAC that has a good clock, galvanic isolation and all the I/O ports you want, you don’t really need a DDC. On the other hand a good DDC can mean a new lease on life to a vintage DAC you love. If your DAC is just old or middlin... | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source? @milpai The T+A DAC200 is essentially two DACs (PCM and DSD) in one, so a very good choice in this scenario. Plus, it looks great! | |
| Any audiophile use computer (MacBook) as your audio streaming source?

| Phono Preamp Selection @pindac Have you had the opportunity to audition the Pearl 3 phono stage at some point? If so what were your impressions? It is available as a DIY kit for only $150. | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades Are Furutech outlets UL-listed? | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition I'm reading this thread with some interest as my vinyl collection could realistically use a good cleaning, and I believe "dry" cleaning methods do more harm than good. In the spirit of 80/20, how about this thing? It has its critics, but few ques... | |
| Audio Fantasies I have enough trouble picking real speakers to fantasize about imaginary ones :) | |
| Gold coated brass speaker spades If Caelin sells brass outlets, then brass is most definitely legit. | |
| New speakers for a new start? Since the last post I have auditioned Dutch & Dutch 8c. Honestly they sounded amazing, but I had a lot of questions regarding features and usability that I couldn't find answers for in D&D's vaguely written website. Some got answered in th... |
