A moderate priced dac
I like the PS Audio nuwave dsd. I think they were about $1200US  when new. Now they are an obsolete model I understand. I bought a refurbished unit for $700 and am very impressed with it Performance and build quality wise it's a winner. Very robus... 
Do you guys like Adele's music?
Adele has a very powerful voice and mostly good songs. I however cannot listen to her for extended sessions. The sound quality of her recordings that are to my ears edgy and very compressed do subtract for her musics appeal. In Australia at least ...

Price No Object Amps

Best Preamp - NO preamp... (?)
Each to their own, it depends on you ears, your pre amp. Some preamps are great others disappointing. I use a number of different ones in different systems. My Yamaha c2a is an example of a good preamp. It's fast yet has a degree of warmth and sol...
