| Best DAC for 1,000? Me, too! Me, too! The Audio Mirror is an incredible bargain IMHO. The manufacturer could have put the innards in a better chassis and asked 5 times as much for it. Don't let the small price sway you from trying it.Best,Jack | |

(Phone calls, too.)Another issue: Why is it that the c... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Boa2: Subtlety wasn't the issue ... showing that we are all different with different tastes was.Perhaps you missed this paragraph:"There are, however, apparent differences in how and what we hear ... which is cool, we don't all like/prefer the sam... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music?

Although the TRL/Sony 900 seems to be an enti... | |
| Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer? DTM: That's an unfortunate risk I take standing by those who I admire and respect. I found out in the schoolyard that if you are outspoken, not everyone is going to like you ... I can live with that.I base my statements on first hand experience, w... | |
