| Does the Transport make a significant difference? Douglas - I asked since I have DAC1 with cheap DVD player and no way to compare.

| Need to downgrade any advice?? There is only one right solution to your dilema (obvious if you think about it) - keep the gear and change the girlfriend. | |

| slew rate and rise time Wikipedia definition:In audio system terminology the damping factor gives the ratio of the rated impedance of the loudspeaker to the source impedance. Only the resistive part of the loudspeaker impedance is used. The amplifier output impedance is ... | |
| what is the weakest link in my audio chain CruzV1 tweeters were horrible and V2 are a little better but still on the bright side - I know I have 60s v2 and recently got rid of original $25 Vifa tweeters. You might find reviews describing Paradigm v2 as neutral or crisp but you won't find s... |
