| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Okay. I changed my mind about having my DAC going direct to my power amp.

| MAC Book Pro Computer vs Aurender N100h vs Aurender N10 Music Servers I believe the Aurender N100h sounds better than my MAC Book Pro computer. However, the Aurender N10 music server is much better than the Aurender N100h I had major problems with the cost of the Aurender N10 so I listened to both units several ti... | |

| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE I found the following in the above post:"John has also confirmed that each REF600 chassis sports an NCore NC500 amplification module, in addition to an NC1200/700 SMPS". Thanks. | |
| New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE Does the Bel Canto Ref600 power amplifier used the NC500 or the NC1200 power module? I heard each referenced in two different review. I also know the Ref600 uses the NC1200 power supply. Thanks.. |
