| Will a PS Audio Superlink DAC Improve My Sound May I ask why the superlink? It seems quite old, and you may have better options. I own a PS Audio DAC myself, so I am a fan, but I am weary of such an old digital product. What is your budget for a DAC? | |

| DAC with multiple selective digital inputs Look into a PS Audio Perfect Wave Dac mark II with Bridge 2. Used prices should be at the top of your price range. I use this Dac and love it. Loads of inputs. Bridge 2 module is Roon ready, and that is fantastic software. It also unfolds MQA. | |
| Would anyone like a tube hour counter for amps that don't have this function ? Peter, I am in the process of hiring an engineer to help me sort out the electronics specifics. If I can get this thing to run on batteries, and have it last for years on a 9V or Lithium battery, that would be killer. We shall see. I have also... | |
