| Digital coax cable, real world experiences? @uberwaltz no the McIntosh would not be a bottle neck the digital conversion would happen in the outboard dac. The dac would then output an analog signal to an analog input on your McIntosh preamp. | |
| Hi-rez music - why should it cost more? None it's what the market will bear and so far it's borne it. I have bought zero high rez recordings nor will I ever. Tired of a million bald faced attempts to get people to buy the same freaking music over and over. | |
| Do bluetooth speakers for cars exist? I have the gadget mapman references and it works great, here is a link to Amazon where I got mine.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DZKERVY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? So Al is right the word maximum is a bad cut n paste from the gain spec. It is a C-800 Mk2 so that impedance spec is right but no idea how it varies at different frequencies. Whichever way you go good luck I know its hard taking a blind leap of fa... | |

| Chord Dave ricred1 congrats on your new DAC that's great! I've never heard a Chord DAC but my last CD player was a Tube Technology Fusion which used the same WTA FPG DAC technology and sounded fantastic. I can only imagine how good the Dave sounds. | |
| Matching octave with audio physics codex speaker This quote from the SoundStage Ultra review of the Codex may be germane. "With the Audio Physic Codex, I found that the volume setting needed to be a bit higher before I could hear the frequencies at or near its specified lower limit of 28Hz. In... | |

| DAC purchase:new or used? Digital depreciates sharply buy used and stretch your dollar further. There are plenty of good options in your price range. | |
