| Starter Dac for Headphones... I came on here to post Centrance, as well. They are really good. Another good option would be to get a Schiit stack. They just introduced a $99 DAC (Modi) and a $99 headphone amp (Magni) - both made in the USA. The Modi is an asynchronous USB DAC.... | |

| why did my iphone quit working on Wadia idock? You should definintely update your phone to iOS 6 regardless of the Wadia issue. I'm not sure what app you are using for notes, but mine always back up without issue. Your problem might not be a pin on the dock. It could also be a pin on your phon... | |
| Now that my amp's blown... A few thoughts:NAD C326BEE - lists for $550, but there's a factory refurb on the 'gon for $429 US right now. Nice solid amp for the money.Never heard it, but there's also a Rega Brio 3 listed for $449. Some people really like it. If you are willin... | |

If you don't need your sub for 2-channel, I agree that a dedica... | |
| Using TV as Audio Hub? Elevick - that is a good idea. The only problem is that I need a DAC or receiver with 2 Toslink inputs, which eliminates all of the ones that have been proposed so far. I need to go back to the drawing board, I guess. | |

| Using TV as Audio Hub? Thanks for the tips. I'll check out the Onkyo. Some people have described it as a bit shrill, but the price is outstanding. As for the AVR idea, that was my first thought, but I'd rather not go that direction because (a) I want something small in ... | |
| Oppo 103 digital processing "No need for a SSP anymore. "It would need to have room correction and bass management, as well. In which case, it would be an SSP with an additional built in transport. I guess another question is: why doesn't Oppo build SSPs? | |
