Connect Macbook Pro to DacMagic DAC
I've been very happy with my Wireworld Supernova 6-mini. I use it to connect my Macbook Pro, running Pure Music Software, to a Bryston BDA-1 DAC. 
Harmonic Technology Truth Link RCA
Got it. I figured out the locking mechanism. 
Rega Brio R vs. Naim 5i integrateds...
I've never heard the Rega integrated, but I've owned and greatly enjoyed Naim 5i and XS. Both are wonderful. Have you had a chance to demo either/both the Rega and Naim in your home?

Speakers for Bryston
Kbarkamian,Yes, I'm a big fan of Totem speakers. Great company. I'm particularly fond of the Totem Arro floorstander. I like this speaker even better than some of the more expensive Totem floorstanders. I auditioned a pair of Model 1's monitors se...

Wrm57,PCM comes up frequently on the "short list" or recommended speakers for Bryston. Once I find a PCM audio dealer that keeps stock, I look forward to audition. 
Speakers for Bryston
Hey Steve,I used to own a pair of Vandersteen 1B's. They were my first decent set of speakers. I loved them when I first bought them, but they did not get much play over the years. Reviewers were not very kind to them, either...I've been wondering... 
Naim 5i: How important are Naim NACA Cables?
