LessLoss DFPC Signature
Sorry Louis, that is not what I was alluding to. I am not referring to the contents we write ourselves and whether we want to hide those from "The Authorities" or "Agencies" or whether we think we can be offensive and disrespectful when using a mo... 
LessLoss DFPC Signature
Louis, whereas I'm sympathetic to what you are saying, you must also consider that serious mischief has been perpetrated with other people's names and photographs that were published on the internet. Unscrupulous individuals joyriding on other peo...

SOTA Tube DAC's
I'll throw in another DAC for the sake of discussion, since I have regrettably not had the pleasure to hear this myself until now. How about the Jadis JS1 MkIII DAC? 
SOTA Tube DAC's
As far as one box players are concerned, both the AMR CD-77 and ARC CD8 are outstanding and I would add Einstein "The Source" to those to complete my personal Tubed SoTA Triumvirate.As far as tubed stand-alone DACs are concerned, keep an eye on th... 
old cdp that hangs with new ones
Jadis JD3 built 12/97, bought used in 07/03 for EUR 1.200 which must have been about a third or a quarter of list price at that time.In honesty, I had it modified in 11/07 though after it had become disturbingly noisy. Still going strong now in my...

Get 1 live CD for the intense atmosphere of his performances, I'd suggest "One Night Stand!", live at the Harlem Square Club 1963.And as a 2nd CD the studio masterpiece "Night Beat", recorded the same year on a much more soulful note Enjoy 
Sensitive enough speakers for low power SET
WLMI am not sure about prices in the USA, but the WLM Gran Viola MkII might just fit your budget (unless the exchange rates wreaked havoc). Otherwise look at the Lyra MkII or Aura. These are ingenious speaker systems that can be upgraded (see the ... 
SPDIF to USB converter???
Well, that sounds pretty final. I won't use the player with CDs, just DVD and Bluray. I'll purchase a player in the next few days, and then I'll take it from there.Thanks all.Karel 
SPDIF to USB converter???
Al, our last two responses crossed. Seems like the UA-1D is out after all, then. 
SPDIF to USB converter???
Much appreciate everyone's input, it confirms what I had feared. Anyway, I'll keep the UA-1D in mind; depending on whether I'll find a good price for a decent DAC, I may go for an experiment with it.Thanks again, guys!Karel 
SPDIF to USB converter???
Thanks Al, I'm actually on the verge of buying an inexpensive bluray player, likely Panasonic DMP-BD60 which appears to be an overachiever in terms of picture but (unavoidably) has a mediocre sound. I would integrate this in my purely 2ch system t... 
SPDIF to USB converter???
Thanks, I have seen some of these but I'm searching for something that converts the other way round, i.e. SPDIF IN and USB OUT 
Best ss phono with volume control
Murataltuev did not mention his budget, so I'm merely mentioning an amp I happen to know as one of the best examples of what he's looking for. THE best? You won't hear me claim that, I'm not on a missionary quest and I won't criticize anyone else'...
