Review on the Rockna Audio Wavelight Pre/DAC just went up on Stereo Times
@yyzsantabarbara What you need to understand about the Audiobyte is the implementation of the DAC is completely different than the Wavelight. They DO NOT sound the same. Same designer, not same sound. The Wavelight sonically is an FPGA R2R (ladder... 
Props to Black Cat Cables
Hate to say it but Black Cables are NOT cheap cables in terms of price. Not sure where the value discussion is here in relation to how they sound. Would love a pair but the recommended ICs for my system $2k!!  
Remote Control (Passive) Preamp
I second the recommendation for Tortuga. Best solution out there to add a volume and some tube varnish.  
Denafrips Ares II
Also, does the black ice even have async for USB?  
Denafrips Ares II
Thanks...What upgrades does your Black Ice have?  
Denafrips Ares II
So are you saying you liked the Black Ice better than the Pontus and the Ares?

Chord Qutest + MScaler
@akwilson501Thanks for the feedback and sharing your results...What is the rest of components in your system? Just curious to know. See I am debating one of two upgrades right now. Either this farad LPS or a small Rel sub to my system. It's a desk... 
Chord Qutest + MScaler
Thing about all these positive reviews of these vairous LPS is...No one knows all the other aspects of these systems. So in truth, it's meaningless unless you can compare apples for apples. System for system, room for room, etc. This is why I can'... 
Does the Chord TT2 Dac need a linear supply device?
Did you ever end up adding an LPS? Got the TT2 and looking at all the offerings from Farad, Teddy Pardo, and Sbooster.  
Denafrips Ares Price Jump
Has anyone compared the Denfrips with any of the Chord DACs? Namely the Hugo TT2?  
Hugo TT2 or LTAMZ3/Border Patrol DAC combo
yeah I tried to grab that one but to be honest I can get a new one for not much more and quite honestly that dealer wasn’t easy to deal with when it came to paying them. Got some song and dance about getting burned by being paid with a CC by some ... 
Shout-out to Verdant Audio, Scott Bierfeldt
I agree...Scott is incredibly knowledgable, patient and response time is fantastic. I will absolutely be getting more from him the future.  
Hugo TT2 or LTAMZ3/Border Patrol DAC combo
Thanks, I tend to agree...I think I am just afraid of the idea of leaving tubes behind. I suppose I could always add a BP later and use the TT2 as a Pre if I were missing them. Where this is near field/desk top I really like the detail being commu... 
LTA micro zotl preamp
Good to hear...I just ordered the MZ3 as well for use in a desk top system on a pair of active Dynaudios, impatiently waiting for it to be built. Pairing it with the BP dac as well..LTA is a great company, love what they are doing with this tech. ...
