Melody Gardot Live
I like her too, but there is no reason for her to keep clapping while the guys are playing. In my opinion not in good taste. I have been to many live jazz clubs including singers and part of the allure is hearing the soloists as well. She does nee...

Musical Fidelity Tri Vista DAC, Should I upgrade?
By the way systembuilder you can have Dan at Modright add a digital input to the modded Sony and all you need is a USB to SPDIF adaptor to work with down loaded files from the internet.
