| how to turn a late '09 mini on the cheap into some What's your DAC? Although a USB-SPDIF converter may give you the best results. you can start with TOSLINK directly out of the Mini, but get a good glass cable.You can skip the SSD, which will save you a bunch.

| Cardas Golden Cross no longer offered by Cardas ? I think your analysis is completely upside down. | |

| Harbeth Speakers What do you mean by "not necessary"? | |
| How to wire my REL T7 to Audioengine A5's I'm not sure you can do what you are trying to do. The REL Speakon inputs are designed to take signal from your power amplifier. Since the A5's are active, the only signal you can access external to them is the line-level out from your source, whi... | |
| Harbeth Speakers Bob is correct. Go for the current version and as far as ancillary equipment, I don't think anything will be overkill with the Harbeths unless it's something specifically for low bass. | |

As an example a piece that retails for 1000.00 cost the dealer 600. It probably cost the manufacturer 200.00. That's a 300% markup. It looks like if... | |
| The most overlooked album Oh, and I nominate Jonathan Wilson's Gentle Spirit. I love this album, which seems to have gotten very little attention. | |
| The most overlooked album And she's married to Ryan Adams. I haven't heard the album, but that relationship might yield benefits in the songwriting department, at the least. | |
| Best Place to order cd`s Toddnkaya, you do realize that what you were doing with the library CDs is illegal, don't you? | |
| Breakout DAC for 2013? Above your price range at $2K, but the new Benchmark HGC is very interesting. I'm trying one out, have had it in my system for less than a week so far and am initially quite impressed, I owned their original DAC1 and, from memory, the new unit sou... | |
