Can I connect DAC directly to amp?
If you use JRiver, you can use the volume control in the server running on your PC. The less attenuation you need the better this works. Give it a try. Less sensitive speakers requiring less attenuation at the source would be a plus. 
Has CD playback evolved in the last 5 years?
Audiogon acting funny. I did not post this twice. 
Has CD playback evolved in the last 5 years?
I can personally attest that conversion of PCM two 2xDSD as is done in the EMM Labs (and Playback Designs I believe), has taken CD playback to a different level (for me anyway). If this level with attainable 5 years ago, and if so at what pricepoi...

Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists
I agree with some of the usual suspects, in particular Robert Plant, but I never liked Freddy Mercury's singing.Roger Daltry would also be a frontrunner for me. I'll throw in one wildcard, who has a very unique voice that I really like; Steve Winw... 
Two Sources to One Powered Subwoofer
I don't think your Quad has a build in Xover, so when you play two channel your sub would work with the full range signal, unless your Sony has a 4 outputs and a build in crossover. This is far from ideal, as the sub would overlap with the mains i... 
Oppo 103 digital processing
If the Oppo would does decoding and HDMI input switching, it would be intersting if someone build a Multi channel HDMI DAC with volume control. You could run your HD receiver, possibly a gaming device into the Oppo, and the Oppo into the DAC. No n... 
CS&N-anyone?
Saw them a few months ago. Getting better may be an overstatement, but holding up pretty well. If you have a multi channel system, get "another Stoney evening" C&N only. It is a phenomenal recording. 
PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction
I am not disputing you may hear a difference in a DC circuit.In response to your question, I am just poining out that based on the laws of physics it is categorically impossible that in an AC circuit there is a difference depending on what you dir... 
PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction
Obviously you have not heard the PWD mkii black version yet. It sounds best on the top shelf on the left. I had it on the right for a while. Big mistake. 
PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction
I'm afraid of wasting my time. To me the notion of sound quality difference through directionality of fuses in an AC circuit is as absurd as the notion as the black chassis sounding different than the silver. 
PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction
Geoff, the poster specifcally asked about application of a (directional??) fuse in an AC circuit. If something can be categorically ruled out on undisputable theoretical basis, I personally would not advocating trying it anyway because "stranger t... 
PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction
Geoff, again, the difference are measured in a DC circuit. AC current switches direction 60 times per second. Even if the fuse is directional, you would not hear it in an AC circuit. The paper does not even suggest you would. So lots of reasons to... 
Better Blu-ray player....
Theta will be releasing an all digital modded Oppo 93, with the analog section stripped out. This will be the Compli Blu 3D - MSRP $4000. I was thinking like you a few years back and got myself a Denon 2500. It sucked.But puzzling indeed why no on...
