non over sampling DAC better than 24/96 or192 DAC?
IMHO they both have strengths and weakness. You must hear them both in your system and decide for yourself what will be better in that particular system. I've heard bad upsampling and good.That being said I have one of the nuttiest combinations. I... 
Let's build a subwoofer interconnect
This sub par Blue jean subwoofer cable is as good as any subwoofer cable on the market. I have to agree with the other guys. The cable needs only to pass 80hz and down, while keeping out the hum. Not a tough job for the crummiest cable or connect... 
Adcom monster amps
Hello I'm not sure what you want to spend. Here's another option. You could go with a module type amplifier. Like the Exodus 400. Go to the second page to see Kevin's prices for each unit. It should give you all the power should ever need. I haven... 
tube buffer?
Double4w,I'm not sure if there would be a real advantage to using a buffer with your integrated. If not mistaken it's rated at 50k Ohms on the preamp input. That should be more than enough for your cd player.If you used a passive volume control li... 
Step Down Transformer
A Power Bright should work just fine. I'm not sure of the wattage needs. I bought one with about 4 times the actual current draw.. just to be safe. Working great so far! 
Where to install Superclock3, Transport or DAC?
FWIW Elberoth2 ..there are at least two modding companies installing the Super Clock 3 in the BelCanto. Empirical Audio and Reference AudioMods. Personally I would save the money and just get the jitter/signal reclocker and conditioning unit along... 
Where to install Superclock3, Transport or DAC?
I would definitely put it in the Dac if possible. It seems to make more of a difference there. My transport has one in it and it doesn't make a real difference as far as I can tell. I auditioned a Dac that used a Super Clock in it and the differen... 
Genelec Speakers opinions
I thought the Genelec's sounded great! I would have picked them over the Dynaudio's that were in the same room any day.Shadorne ..pretty much said it all. 
Gainclone chip amp
JT has a good point. This type of amplifier is already high gain. No real need to add more. More than a few dB seems to add noise. I like passives on these units. That's the reason for the Burson HDAM buffer..it gives me the drive of an active wit...

Hey South43,Here's a site that sells chassis Autoconstruire..the company is out of Italy. maybe these prices are a little closer to what you would like to spend.As far as the chips go..Peter would be better at answering your question. I do know he...

JT...I got the Burson HDAM buffer in the last Thursday. I bought it to use in conjunction with my Dac which has no Op amps and my passive volume controls. I've had it cooking for over 80 hours now. I'm totally amazed at how good this unit is! It h...

Hi Cdc..just adding a couple of new components. Not quite done yet. Everything else is the same with the addition of three pieces. One being a Monarchy 48/96 upsampler,Burson HDAM Buffer and a 70 wpc battery powered integrated amplifier.If I can s...

JT, Thanks a bunch mate! It's funny you mentioned Australia. I was just thinking I need to look closer at the obscure companies down under. I've had some great success with the Burson group from Australia. I never realized how good valued the gear... 
Gainclone chip amp
Wow!! JT ...I couldn't have said it better myself!! You've described the Chip amps to a T. Where do you find the Sonic Art 3876T ? It sounds like a very interesting amplifier.Thanks

South43,You can contact Peter Daniel about the prefab chassis. He sells them through his site. You can go here Audio Sector. It is also possible to contact him through the DIY.com site ..he has several threads on it. He's very helpful..just ask h...
