| Cable recommendation between Dac and Integrated amp +1 on the Duelund idea. I made my own. Killer sound for the money. | |

| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? I'm going to find out if it lives up to the hype. I figure $1300 isn't crazy money and Oppo offers a 30 day money back policy. If I hate it, it goes back. If it's really really good I'll live with it for a while and see if I want to have it mod... | |
