Looking for Better Jitter Reduction in a DAC
Hi lowrider, I just wrote about my impressions in my system and to my ears. That was how it fell. As you say, I suspect that a big part of my results were due to the excellent noise/isolation/jitter characteristics of thr Aurender/Exogal combo and... 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
With amplifier turned off, securely connect the individual hi-level wires of the REL cable to amp’s speaker terminals per RELs instructions and plug the connector on the other end into the REL’s hi-level input. Turn on amplifier, plug the REL’s po... 
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
Agree Norm. Your post will at least keep this thread from slowing to a crawl. lolDave 
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
I stand corrected. First 3 responses suggesting try for yourself.  Dave

Predictably, full circle back to response 1 and 2 at the beginning of the thread...Dave 
Looking for a Cheap DAC?
Hi Randy, I do not own a Sonica DAC but can assure you that it does not play SACD (I assume that’s what you meant by "SADs"?) and does not do video. SACD is a proprietary DSD format that is designed to protect against copying raw DSD files (pirati... 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
My MW Sony 5400ES has a similar HDMI audio output and I run it to one of my Onkyo HT processor’s HDMI inputs to play multichannel music from SACD. Works nice and the only way to pass a SACD’s DSD raw signal in digital form to another device for D ...

One last thing to interject: You may find yourself listening to the 300S in your underwear as I did in mine with the FPB-600c. HOT. Very, very HOT.Best to you thehorn, Dave

Alas, my Thiels do not allow bi-amping.I will let you get back to seeking input from 300s owners. Thanks thehorn,Dave 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
HDMI and I2S are not the same thing and, if I understand correctly, are not compatible even though both use a "HDMI cable" (with some I2S using RJ45).The BDA-3 does have 2 channel HDMI capability, but the Holo and the Denafrips are I2S and would n... 
Have you ever met another audiogon member in person?
No offense to anyone, but that's pretty hilarious. Dave 
Comparing Classe' Audio's DR9 with Krell's ksa300s
Hmmm. I read lots of reviews in Stereophile, TAS, and others back in the day and they all claimed that the DR-9 sounded even better in bridged mono. Personal experience rules, so I take your word it. I am not at all disappointed with the idea of c... 
Shipping large speakers
Not exactly but they are "self insured" (any claim payments come out of their bottom line) and, if UPS is any indicator, will result to underhanded and deceitful tactics to avoid paying a claim. Unfortunately I have direct experience with UPS afte... 
Best universal disc player that has great audio reproduction?
I actually think you made solid cable recommendations, kp. Just that it doesn't fit the situation here based on reading uberwaltz's posts. God bless to you as well.Dave
