How does a Transport effect sound?
While the Lyngdorf 2170 is good in its category of products, it may not be considered to be a true separate dac in the strictest sense of the word. Given the topology of the 2170, it is to be expected that the SM would significantly improve its SQ...

Shunyata Research's Denali 2000T ???
@bar81,Thanks for sharing your experience with the Denali 6000. They certainly do sound good on their own and I am wondering what you were using before the Denali 6000. For my setup, I just kept everything the same as before with only the Denali o...
