| Digital Playback Comparison Bruce_1, thanks for your thorough write-up of a comparison that is of great interest to me. I have a HagUSB unit on its way to me and I also have a MacBook Pro and an Airport Express. I will attempt to replicate your experiment with two additions:... | |
| Best Small Speaker System You've ever Heard The Magico Mini needs to be mentioned here as does the Dynaudio Confidence C1. | |

Makes me wonder what it would be like to run a similar test for other components, ones we are more confident make a big difference, such as phono cartridges or speakers. Would be harder ... | |
| Benchmark VS older ultrahigh end dac's in these... I have more favorable feeling about the Benchmark than some of the comments above, which just underscores how much our individual preferences and systems vary.

| Preferred Amps for Magico Mini II? You guys are all in BAAS but I don't know who you are! | |
| Replace cable box with Tivo Walnut -- you are correct on all counts. The only thing to add is that by going to cable cards you lose two-way communication, so you can not get PPV.Larryken -- very interesting, first time I have heard this, though I don't read AVS forum, so it ... | |
