Need some $500 & under Amp recommendations
Cool, well maybe I'll keep my eye out for a used Jolida... They have been recommended to me a few times now so it sounds like it could be good. A 1501RC sold not long ago on here for $395... I'm bummed I missed that one.Do you guys know anything a...

hmm, actually the sonos is a bit more expensive than I thought... Oh well, I'm still interested in the ibook to decco... 
USB to DAC questions
Wait... Maybe I WOULD be interested in a Sonos... I was just planning on buying a cheap ibook for playback, but... a Sonos would be just as expensive and give me the same quality of sound as a solid USB connection if I bypassed the Sonos DAC, right?

Wow, Scott Nixon helped design it... sounds promising based on the positive feedback I've heard about his DACs.I mean, if the sound compares well with the combination of a Nad or Jolida integrated with a Paradisea+ or Scott Nixon's own DACs... thi...

excellent, thanks for the info.The Jolida sounded better than your Nad C352?I would like to be able to hook a subwoofer up though... is there any disadvantage to hooking one up via speaker terminals? 
Need some $500 & under Amp recommendations
Ya, I'm so confused...Nad has great reviews from hi-fi magazines, then I go to AudioReview.com and the c352 received some pretty terrible write-ups.Tough to tell... some alternatives that keep popping up are Marantz PM7001, Rega Mira (older), Outl...

Awesome, thanks for the affirmation guys.So, I wouldn't be able to hook a subwoofer up to the C325BEE?This is something I indeed did want to do in the future. I'm still not sure how to hook a sub up... I heard you can do it via speaker terminals, ...

Cool, I'll read up to see what I2S is all about.Hmm, so you don't think monster cable is that good, huh? Man, I researched cable like crazy... people said the Z2 was really good. I also had some audioquest starquad type 4... and I couldn't get a s...

Heh, I think I have early symptoms of the disease... as you can tell by all my posts recently.Well that sounds good then... I think I am going to settle on the system I described in my last post. It took *tons* of research and comparing each and e...

Musicman... I'm not sure what I2S is... I mean, its a protocol of some sort I gather... but what medium is it carried across, etc..?It's good to hear you like the paradisea. Ya, I heard a couple not-so-appealing things about SN DACs... and they wo...

GMood- Hmm, tough choice b/w the two then. Thanks for the info.Ckorody- I went and checked my source about what the developer of that camera mod said about PC USB vs Mac USB. Here is an excerpt:"To elaborate on the PC support issues in the past, o...

Gmood1- Aw, great... thats good to hear another positive input about the paradisea.I am especially interested in the Audio Sector you mentioned. Do you have any idea how this would perform side-by-side to a paradisea? 
USB to DAC questions
Ckorody... ah, good to know... thx for the info. So, if a USB also carries power, does that mean that there are differences b/w 'high' and 'low' quality USB ports on a computer?This is especially interesting because I know a company that modifies ...
