| How much does DAC ‘Reality’ cost in 2017? The R2R topology seems to be the current version of choice or at least the type everyone is raving about. A friend purchase the MSB along with the transport and the quality of sound is phenomenal. Understanding the design I thought to myself, I ca... | |

| Aurender N100H or Auralic Aries? I picked up a slightly used N100H from a guy upgrading to a W20. It is everything stated here in this thread. I'm very pleased with the sound with Tidal and the interface is simple. I can certainly recommend it. | |

| Denafrips Terminator R2R Multibit, ultimate pcm redbook converter??

| Gregg Allman passed away today Aauuggh. Gregg was one of those musicians you hoped would live on forever. What a great person. I hope he is reunited with his brother and they rock their new house. Thanks for all the music Gregg! | |
| Audiophiles are not alone In my world this is more analogous to a Gibson Les Paul vs. Fender Stratocaster. Duane Allman played the Les Paul and David Gilmore a Fender Strat. Which do I like more? I guess it depends on my mood I suppose. I don’t think either instrument can ... | |
