| How much improvement with better toslink cable? I've been very happy with a glass optical cable that I purchased from this place.http://www.uniqueproductsonline.com/gltodiopca.htmlI purchased it from their ebay store. For less than $20 shipped, you can't go wrong. | |
| DAC Questions Anything under $3k? | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 Mjcmt,Interesting. Are you saying that the L&R multi-channel analog outputs sound better than the dedicated stereo output? I thought the stereo output was supposed to be higher quality than the multichannel outputs. I'll have to check this out... | |
| Impossible? Small towers, efficient, musical, loud Gallo 3.1? Small, musical, good with tubes and can play loud. I traded my Usher 6311 for the Gallos and found the Gallos to be a better fit for my room which sounds similar to yours. They are both wonderful speakers with different presentations.Yo... | |
| 125 watt or 80 watt? There is a nice looking ATI 1505 up for sale right now for not much more money. Definitely worth looking into for a good deal on a nice 5 channel amp.I have no affiliation with the seller whatsoever. | |

| Upsampling DAC fed at upsample rate The Nova is limited to 24/96. The Sabre DAC is capable of 24/192 though. There is a thread somewhere that explains why Peachtree decided not to take advantage of the 24/192 capabilities of the DAC. | |
| Cambridge DacMagic & Oppo Blu Ray - Other Question I don't own the DACMagic, but from what I can tell so far, I prefer the 2 channel analog outs on the Oppo BD83 compared to coaxial into an external DAC. Have you made a comparison yet and if so what are your thoughts? BTW, my DAC is NOS (16/44.1). | |

| music server virgin needs answers There are websites that offer high quality downloads, but for the money you are better off buying the cd and ripping it yourself. EAC (exact audio copy) is one of the more popular and respected ripping software and it's free.DB Poweramp is also wo... | |
| Another "Which Bookshelf Speakers to Get" Thread I'll second the Usher S-520. Front ported, very easy to place and very easy on the eye. The build quality is much better than expected for a $400 (new) monitor. You can find them used in the $300 range. Oh yeah, they also sound great. | |

| Chinese equivalent to Sonus Faber? Usher from Taiwan? | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers Would I pay to audition? NoDo I see where the dealer is coming from? YesI wouldn't waste a dealers time to set up speakers if I already knew I was going to buy used. Instead, buy the speakers used and audition them at home to see if they are keepe... |
