| Where does the DAC go? Oh, if you are just using it to listen to low-res internet radio streams then my comments do not really apply. I don't know how much you'd gain by a better DAC in that case as I have no direct experience to share. I don't listen to Internet radio ... | |

| Where does the DAC go? It goes between the player and the amp.Complex answers to simple questions is what makes audiophiles amusing to the general population.For anyone who is new to digital audio, an answer like that one to the question posed by the OP would leave them... | |
| Where does the DAC go? Kal's words ring true to me. Well, I'd expand on 1. and say that you really don't "need" any of this stuff. I think that goes without saying and none of us would be here if we didn't "want" something more. That said, there are plenty of threads on... | |
| Where does the DAC go? If there is a digital output, the chances are that you might be able to improve upon the ROKU's internal DAC (not a far stretch to do as much, but just an educated guess on my part - I have no direct experience with ROKU to back up my assumption, ... | |

| Musical, Warm and Smooth bookshelfs under 500 Silverline Minuets are 88db efficient and should work fine with 20W in a room the size of yours. I believe one of the reviewers used a 25W amp and said it was more than adequate to power them. Harbeth's are great, but I don't think you'll find a p... | |

| headphones-amp combination You want a portable amp? If I were looking portable, I'd look at the Fostex HP-P1, which combines an excellent DAC that takes digital output from your iPhone/iPod. If you are looking at it for actual portable use, as in walking around town, you'd ... | |
| Master Metal Guitarist Hey, thanks, Spiritualized. Glad it comes off well, and good to know it's showing up in some stores. Yeah, it ain't cheap. It's definitely "boutique" material, for the collector who has everything. It's really a project to show off the publisher's... | |
| Musical, Warm and Smooth bookshelfs under 500 On your list there are powered speakers and passive speakers. What is the rest of your system? Beyond that obvious question, a thumbs-up for Adam Audio - I would not call them warm though. Most studio monitors will tend towards neutral before warm... | |
| Master Metal Guitarist Back at'chaIf you like guitars, here's a shameless plug for a project I worked on (photography). Not that I expect that many will be busting out their wallets for this bank-breaking book, but I have to say, it's damned impressive and if you're an ... | |

| Any good Contemporary Christian recordings Hey Marty - Alejandro Escovedo made up for having to listen to a few verses of Michael Jackson before I had to stop him. Indeed, quite a contrast. They are from different planets. I was intrigued about Escovedo; when I did a search on YouTube I sa... | |
