After some sea... | |
| Should I use the dac in my node2i or the one in a marantz av7705? Thanks for all of your input. I will continue to experiment with various combinations. I may look for an affordable standalone DAC for comparison. Thanks again all! | |

| Value of a Proceed HPA3 I do still have the HPA3. I currently use it as a two channel and have had it serviced/recapped at a place in Texas (Pyramid Audio -- Brands We Service (pyramid-audio.com). Shipping was a bit much, but in my experience, worth the total cost. Th... | |
