Using the PerfectWave DAC MK II
I'm running eLyric app on my iPhone and iPad to control the PWD. I think due to timeout issues on the iPhone, it's better on the iPad.I'm using the bridge to access my music on a laptop. A huge improvement in sound quality is using ethernet connec... 
Fuses that matter.
If a buss fuse costs a buck,and an AMR Gold costs $20.00,which sounds almost as good as the Hifi supremes that I used which cost $80.00,my suggestion is that the AMR fuse is a good value compared to the Supreme fuse, which I still feel is better,b... 
Magico S5 review
Bvdiman, yes and very interesting your horn analogy. My Magico salesman also use the horn analogy describing Tad but without the sub integration problems. I don't want anything boring and not only hearing, but feeling the dynamic swings with my he... 
Review: TRL, Inc. Dude & Samson Tube preamp
Theoretical and practice are 2 different story. ie: On paper Mcintosh C2200 should be able to drive FPB600 but it was a horrible horrible match. No bass, highs, dynamics, uninvolving ... just a horrible match.No experience with Dude and Krell so c... 
Magico S5 review
Stereotaipei, they are detailed and high resolution but lay back and a bit mellow compare to Tad and Vivid where it's more aggressive in your face.

My opinion does not mean squat. Ask Doug. I don't know what to say regarding the input impedance.Agear 02-05-13Nobody opinions mean squat except for your own. Ultimately you're the one that has to live with your system/decisions. 
Yamamoto YDA-01 DAC
Charles1dad, dac is like computers, I don't chase the latest and greatest. I had a MW Transporter before the PWD and with a few tweaks, it was still competitive with everything I've auditioned. With some materials, I prefer it over the PWD.

Review: TRL, Inc. Dude & Samson Tube preampDoug Baer said the GT-200s smoked the Krells. I would demo those.....Agear 02-02-13From my experience, I've never heard a properly setup Krell amp, NOT Krell preamp, get smoked by anything. You might ... 
Magico S5 review
Stereotaipei, actually I auditioned the Q3 and not S5. I find the Q3 a bit too lay back for my taste. Of course setup and associated components are important, my ranking is TAD and Vivid tied, Magico, avantgarde if the subs are properly setup,a BI...

Kudret, my PS Audio MKII with bridge sounds excellent so I decided to change speakers instead. Sold my EW Andra IIs months ago and Logitech Boom is my only system now so busy shopping for speakers. 
What to expect from a new DAC?
Audioengr, so what are the newer and improved units?

Try a passive transformer-based linestage instead. Much more transparent and no compressionIs this a joke??? 
Cable Breakin
01-30-13: ArhI have been an audiophile for 60 years and have purchased many cables and have never experienced such a radical change in the sound of a SC. In fact have always found little or no breakin for any cables. Just reporting what I heard wi...
