But recently I decided on a good quality external DAC which is the Exogal Co... | |

| Streamers While based on your healthy audio budget, you might want to consider the (top shelf) RocknaWave Dream Net that will do what you want and maybe even more than you had considered. | |

| A change in efficiency to the final sound Maybe I can have some input on this as I'll be added a pair of Maganapan 0.7 speakers in a few weeks to my system. Currently I'm using a VAC PA 80 80 set in triode mode with a ARC LS15 pre amp that drive my Definitive technology Mythos ST speakers... | |

| How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!
