The Ultra Fi Aubisque Filter
Stephenson,Good to see another review on the Aubisque USB filter! I entirely agree; the thing is so amazing. It is literally everything that an improvement in audio should be. I still find myself stunned even after several weeks of listening.:) li... 
Should I get the Ultra Fi DAC 41/Tranquility SE?
Please see my review of the DAC 41 here on Audiogon:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?rdgtl&1317227174&&&/Ultra-Fi-DAC-41-DA-converterAfter all this time, this DAC continues to make me very happy with my musical experiences.... 
dac USB cable
Ridge Street Audio Poeima!!! USB cable is an outstanding start imho.:) listeningEd 
Tranquility DAC
Abruce, I haven't tried the EE DAC. So many things about audio are system dependent, but IMHO the DAC-41 is remarkable in that I have three very different systems, and the DAC-41 has transformed each one to an extraordinary degree. I'd recommend g... 
Tranquility DAC
Hello everyone,I too am a fan of the Tranquility and the Tranquility SE, but some time ago I listened to an UltraFi DAC-41 and was literally swept away, sold the Tranquilities, and bought the DAC-41s for three systems I enjoy. Not long ago, I adde... 
Does the Quality of the USB cable matter?
I know when I upgraded my firewire cable from the MacMini to the peripheral HD from the stock cable it made a difference that I preferred. That is true on all of my systems.:) listening,Ed 
Does the Quality of the USB cable matter?
Honestly and sincerely, I am quite surprised that the question of whether USB cables matter between a computer, say the MacMini, and a DAC is still a question of fact. Even on my least res system, an Alethias USB cable makes a huge difference over... 
Amarra 2.3.2 vs Puremusic 1.82 playback software
I've been using Fidelia for some time now after experience with Amara and PureMusic. Every once and awhile I go back an check the others out, but return to Fidela... I'm wondering why no one mentions it.:) listening,Ed 
Tranquility Signature vs. Bryston BDA-1?
Cfluxa... no dry mid-range and your toes would be dancin' (not "tappin'") to Tosca's Suzuki album right now if you were listening to the DAC-41 in my system. I'll be receiving a PS modification from Larry Moore this week, and after a good listen I... 
Tranquility Signature vs. Bryston BDA-1?
I'd like to concur with Robert of Ridge Street Audio. I've owned the UltraFi iRoc, listened to the UltraFi MusicStream, the Tranquility, the Tranquility SE, and now the DAC-41, and I will be receiving a modded power supply DAC-41 in a few days. Of... 
Review: Ultra Fi DAC-41 DA converter
I haven't upgraded with the Twin Reg yet, but I just wanted to say that the DAC-41 just keeps improving over time. Everything about it gets more musical, and the music space around the speakers grows much, much larger... more involving and detaile... 
C7 - two prong Power Cord make a difference ?
A C7 cable that I have on my MacMini 2010 is the Oyaide L/i15 EMX. It's a PCOCC-A. I like it. A definite improvement over the stock Apple cable (Volex) and not expensive. I got it through Chris VenHaus... the Lotus Group is the distributor. Good s... 
Oyen digital for mac minis?
Yes, the MiniPro is quiet, reliable, cool-running... very happy with it. Wish their prices were lower, but...I have the 1TB version running an RSA firewire cable to a 2010 MacMini running SnowLeopard into an UltraFi DAC-41. Have had it for well ov... 
dac advice
There's an UltraFi iRoc DAC available on Audiogon right now that is below the price range you mention and is truly superb:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?dgtlconv&1323011730&/Ultra-Fi-iRoc-USB-DAC:)listening,Ed 
Review: Ultra Fi DAC-41 DA converter
Hi Tonyptony, I can't answer all of your questions; you'll have to ask Ultra Fi that; perhaps Larry will see these posts and get back to you. You could also email him through Audiogon. As to I/O and connectivity: The DAC-41 has a single USB connec...
