Former MHDT Havana Lovers: What did you move onto?
Jult52, you hit upon my next area of interest, comparison to NOS DACs. To date I have heard some such as the Niko but not done side by side comparison. I know that users of NOS DACs are claiming wondrous things for them, so it should be intresting... 
Upgrade path the same for cables ?
Audiofeil and Inna, uncalled for on both counts. You both have a great deal of insight and experience, and it harms your reputation and credibility when you lower yourselves to name calling and vulgarity. In testing dozens of brands/sets of cables...

Feel free to read what I say about the Minimax DAC Plus in my Audio Blast article at Dagogo.com. I make some extreme statements about it, but I believe the product supports them. Tubegroover is not exaggerating, and neither do I in my article. :) 
Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
Setonaudio, thank you for your cordial responses. 
Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
The responses continue to cause more confusion than help. The CEO says it's the biggest thing since stereo, and the dealer downplays it as perhaps more efficacious for MidFi than HiFi. The website which I visited prior to asking my question here h...

Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL?
Let's hear about the solid science. Since you're inviting the world to call or email, save yourself some time and explain it clearly here. I've had any component or cable inserted line level after the necessary components (source/pre-amp or integr... 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Take a look at speakers which use multiple ceramic/ceramic composite drivers. Their specs are not as expected for such small drivers. A few years ago I would not have agreed that such diminutive drivers could plumb those frequencies, but it's happ... 
Any advantages to bi-wiring speakers vs. single
If biwiring doesn't sound good I usually change the speakers. ;) 
Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
The facts, as seen by a reviewer (If you can't trust me, who can you trust?):The MMMicros are exceptionally good; whether they are among the very best will be determined when Jonathan sends me some to review. ;) Robsker has a legitimate point from... 
I didn’t know that Did you guys know that?
Well, it's not as risky as what Antoine Montant was up to. It's also not as time consuming as what one has to do to play vinyl. As when transferring the discs to my NAS, I did a few at a time, perhaps six or so. Then it was not nearly the overwhel... 
I didn’t know that Did you guys know that?
Phaelon, yup, it is a "wow" experience. Certainly not on the order of new speakers or an entire cable set change, but more than one might expect. Let us know your impressions after your give it a rip and a polish! 
I didn’t know that Did you guys know that?
Better means deeper, more clearly defined soundstage, it means cleaner/more distinct overall presentation - more easily heard stereo separation but more solid L/C/R across the soundstage - with greater refinement of top frequencies clear down to t... 
I didn’t know that Did you guys know that?
Harley is correct on this point. Onhwy61, you have stumbled upon an interesting curiosity; "So if I have a CD, rip it to my computer and then make a CDR, then the CDR sounds better than the original CD. Does that mean if I then take the CDR, rip i... 
About synergy?
Synergy is sexual attraction between strangers; oh, wait, that's chemistry! ;) Frankly, I'm not terribly impressed by the definition of synergy as a fortuitous assemblage of gear. My definition of synergy is more stringent, that being components w...
