I would love some suggestions on great acoustic...
Great stuff! Lots to try out here. Thanks to all!

What is the latest greatest USB add on device?
Love the IFi Micro USB 3 with a good linear power supply for it. Nice improvement in my rig. Less noise and greatly reduced digital artifacts. Music flows more naturally with improved musicality. Also need a couple of good USB cables with it.
