DAC at us$1000
I second what rute1 had to say. I am not sure and probably disagree with audiopath because we do not know your other equipment. Using your Sony as a transport along with an up-sampling DAC is the way to go. I have not heard the MSB however I own a... 
THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS
I don't know about the best, but for the price it's hard to beat a pair of NHT Super Ones (sorry guys I have a pair for sale on this site) and a sub. Legacy Audio makes a very good small speakes, their studio speaker thats worth a listen! 
Cryo your cables?
I know some professional musicans that have mouth pieces cryogenically frozen and they say it improves the sound. They also say it is a temporary fix, and must be repeated over a length of time (I forget what the time interval is). 
Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade
Chucky, I addressed that question in another thread; however, I don't remember the name. Using web tv it's a pain in the butt to go back and find it, so here goes from memory: I demoed the Bel Canto DAC-1 and the Birdland DAC (I forget the exact n... 
BEST Digital Cable
Chucky, add to your list Silver Audio's Silver Stream. Redkiwi, have you heard that digital cable? 
Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade
Tubegroover, I'd say polite and evenhanded. However I will say this; those little 5 watt monoblocks were really pounding out some highs, mids and lows, better than I had expected! Its hard for me to comment on the CJ 11-A because I am use to heari... 
Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade
All right boys and girl, here is what I hear using the upgraded Bel Canto Dac-1; All music (individual instuments, hand held percussion, bass including vocals) are more detailed, have a richer more dimensional sound with better resolution and body... 
Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade
I will get back to you after I do some additional listening. I say this because I use it with my Cary 2A3 monoblocks (5 watts/ch.) and a Conrad Johnson 11-A (70 watt). I only tried it last night on the CJ. I wll know what there is to hear after I ... 
Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade
I shipped my Bel Canto Dac-1 back one week ago for the upgrade and a hummmmming problem. I receive it back today (a lot faster than I anticipated) I am sure I need to break it in again however it sounds very good. There seems to be increased dynam... 
Power Cords, Should they all be from the
I am comming from a different direction. A variety of power cords can make components sound different. Find the combination that sounds the best to you. All expensive pc's don't always make the best music. Mikeg, your set-up of pc's sounds good ba... 
Is Bigger Better?
Bigger does not have to be better, however in this case it is! Two friends in different parts of the country purchased Whale Elites and have demoed them with their Viper, Fatboy (etc). I can't wait to order mine, the reviews are phenomenal! Brian ... 
Your Listening chair
I tried out all of the La-Z-Boy style chairs until I found the recliner/rocker that fit me just right! Most comfortable chair I ever sat on, fell asleep on, read on, listened to music on, etc. 
Kimber ks 1030-vs-1020?
Alfred, Why don't you email your post to Kimber and see what they suggest. They have a fast reply time and have always given me good advise! 
CABLES for Tubes?
I really like the Silver Audio Symphony 48's with a tube system.
