| Rockport Altair matching amplifier? 02-22-15: PtssSoix. Rockport make a big deal of using a certain "copycat" company's internal wiring; but it nowhere near the best available. Gotta ask "what does ultimate quality have to do with it?" And then ask "in addition to that?" Hmm.I think... | |

| Floored by the Sound Quality of TEO Liquid Pre David12, as a less favored option, get a pair of XLR to RCA adapters, such as the ones from Cardas.ARC Reference amps require a true balance preamp so don't think XLR to RCA adapters will work. | |
| PS AUDIO PERFECT WAVE MKII Bsme85, if Directstream volume control is implemented in the digital domain, I don't understand how bits are not truncated if not running full volume. If I remember correctly, in the PWD MKII running singled ended, you can attenuate the volume 20d... |
