| ANALOG HELP Buy new at a local audio shop. That way, you know what you are buying isn't broken, and you have someone to turn to for help and support. | |

| Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s What Mac gear did you try and what didn't you like about it? Was it in the same room/system as the Levinson/Usher gear your heard? | |

| Peachtree iDecco 24/96 problem Does it work 4 u? This issue sounds like OS related settings. Check the sound settings in Windows and make sure it is setup to output at 96khz. | |
| USB DAC Recommendation "The problem with the W4S are the proprietary drivers needed to run on the source machine vs. the native OS drivers used by Ayre/Wavelength.Changes in operating system framework may require these drivers to be updated which could become problemati... | |
| Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s What don't you like about the i7 driving the revels? | |
