| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? CD's sound better than streamers in my experience, but streamers are far more convenient. | |
| Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker? They're end-game for me. I love them and have no plans to change anytime soon. If I won the lottery I'd move up the Rockport line. :) | |
| what dacs are fast, lively, energetic? If by fast you mean open and detailed, then definitely give Weiss a listen. | |

| The best customer experience I've ever had...... @roadwhorerecords - Agreed!!! | |
| DCS Purcell stuck at testing on screen That's troubling that a company won't offer support because a unit is old. | |
