Another new DAC: Audio Mirror
I'd love more info on this dac. It doesn't seem to be a balanced design though, which is what I would be interested in.  
Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
@rwwear I have to agree. That is a very plain, almost ugly table to me. I hope it sounds amazing and they restyle it in the future.

What are the differences you're hearing? 
Accuracy vs. musicality
Accuracy is musicality for me. I don't want my music to sound a certain way. I want it to sound as much like what is on the disc, as I can afford to get it.  
Horns: Why don't they image well?
I head a pair of Sadurni Acoustics speakers (the Miracoli) that imaged really well. They're overall the best horns that I've heard. Very expensive, but very good sounding.  
Recommend A CD Player With A Good Transport To Feed My DAC - Maybe Under $700.
I have a Musical Fidelity M1 CDT transport and an April Music Stello CD100. They're both very good.I'm selling both as I've replaced them with a Jay's Audio transport. When I was looking for a transport last year, I considered the Cambridge, but u... 
detailed vs. warm DAC - which do I prefer?
The Denafrips Terminator seems to be detailed as well as warm, based on what I've read. And it's a DAC I'm seriously considering. I'm very much in the neutral, detailed, information rich, soundstage, camp. I'd be previously considered the PS Audio... 
Warm HDMI cable?
@soundermn I'm going to assume you have trouble with either reading, reading comprehension, or both, as the op plainly wrote this: "P.S. If you think cabling doesn’t matter or that all HDMI cables sound the same, please pass on."Kindly pass on ple... 
Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
I also recommend the Jay's CDT2 Mk2. I got one recently, and I love it! Much better sounding than the Musical Fidelity and the April Music transports it replaced. The build quality is up there with the best of them.  
A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
There are not many stories of new stock tubes sounding better than their nos counterparts. Yes, it does happen, but it is more the exception than the rule.The same can be said, in my experience, for many stock parts in general. Unless you're talki... 
A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
The Lab 21 sounds like a great dac. I wish it were balanced, as my system is all balanced.  
A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
@solo8008 Thanks for that recommendation. I will have to do some reading. As much as I read good things about the Terminator, it is always said that it is voiced towards the lusher side of things, even though it sounds great. I'm looking for more ... 
A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
So how does this DAC compare to the Terminator? 
If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
@snopro I've also heard the Aqua, but not in my system. The system I heard it in is great, but I couldn't say exactly how much of that is the Aqua, though I imagine it is a sizable amount.At this point, the Terminator is my choice, but since it wi... 
If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
@david_ten Yeah, I did some research and saw what dac you were referring to. It isn't balanced and therefore won't work for me, but I'm still on the lookout to see if there's a dac I'd rather have besides the Terminator.
