| DAC shopping - Trying to sift through the Hype. Can I trust the reviews these days ?? I am SICK & TIRED of the CRAP that says USB is noisy! I can turn the volume up to absolute max on my SimAudio 240i with no signal,there is ABSOLUTELY NO NOISE,NO HASH,just a pitch black background! I'm willing to bet that 80% or more of the... | |
| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp WTH? I recommended the Sonus Faber Lumina III or possibly finding a deal on the Gen.1 Sonetto III but my original reply is GONE? | |
