Which amp?
Not sure how sensitive your speakers are,but a Monarchy SM70 can be had in that price range. These are very sweet sounding pure class A amplifiers. 
Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is?
You must have been one of two buyers the other day. The DACs normally don't last long on Ebay. You can go here and read up on the Monarchy DIPs . 
Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is?
Yes the receiver chip in the Paradisea can process 24/96. I prefer when using my disc player as a transport to run the Monarchy at 24/48. It just sounds fuller too my ears. Get a 1.5 or 5 ft digital cable to run from the Monarchy to the Paradisea.... 
Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is?
I didn't get a response either. Yes it pissed me off at first. With all the buzz I couldn't resist! So I decided to give one a try anyway. Once I purchased a unit through eBay. It was much easier to contact the builder. I was able to order one for... 
Direct TV Audio to DAC?
Neal..it probably won't make a difference. I run digital out too my DAC also. I can't listen to those stations on the satellite..it is very compressed. I think you'll find internet radio more to your liking. It's not CD quality ,but it is much bet... 
Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is?
Just like everything else in audio...it is subjective. Scott(the reviewer) IMHO has a good ear for great sound. You can find a very long thread on Audio circle. You'll see Scott's as well as several others comment on this unit. It's not going to ... 
Anyone know how good MHDT Labs Paradisea DAC is?
Yeah..it's true. It is also very sensitive to transports.The better the transport the better the sound. 
Help with PC Audio Quality vs. CD
Yes I like the volume control too. I have this with my PC. The only problem is if the volume control is still enabled while listening to music. You haven't bypassed the windows audio sys.It makes the sound stage a bit flat. The USB-Audio driver wi... 
Help with PC Audio Quality vs. CD
That's a bummer Ben. Well I've plugged digital outputs up too mine... no problems at all. You are suppose to unplug the USB when plugging or unplugging the power supplies. I haven't seen anything about the DAC being turned off. I've had two DACS p... 
Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage
Sure does..Srajan is known to be a tube nut..nothing wrong with that. I figured the review would come out exactly the way he stated it because of this. No biggie for me..I have no intentions of trading my TVC in for a tube preamp anytime soon.Good... 
Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage
Teajay checkout the review of the TAP on 6moons. The reviewer also had the Music First for comparison. He claims the units use the same Trannies and the sound was the same with either unit. Like I stated earlier, hearing a difference really isn't... 
HagUSB vs Other USB Interfaces/Devices
I'm trying this USB-Audio driver out. It does sound better than the freeware versions(ASIO4all.etc) without a doubt.Problem is it only works with Foobar. All my other devices are muted like Winamp. I like the internet radio and video features of W... 
Bare naked or...?
Air is the best dielectric. I use pure silver solid core DIY cables with no terminations what so ever. I have used them for over a year now. There is no oxidation that I can see with my eyes under the teflon. The ends will show a slight discolorat... 
Bare naked or...?
The best termination is none at all. 
Help me hunt for a SS integrated
This is off the beaten path gear..I haven't heard this integrated yet. Since it will take 4 to 6 weeks to build it as an amplifier direct. I do own one of their buffers though. So I'm familiar with the sound they are into. I'm not sure what sound ...
