CTSooner - I have the short block also and it resides permanently in the system. I just ordered the Regen. I'll post my results here with the short block in and out of the system.

Technically, it's a doodad that makes the music sound better by plugging between the digital music source doohickey and the DAC thingamajig. It's got some electrical stuff that was recently upgraded with some even better electrical stuff to make i...

1 Regen ordered. For $186- shipped who am I to turn down a tweak you guys are raving about. Coming mid June. FYI - I just switched from Audiovana to JRiver on my Mac Mini. I played with both extensively and I find JRiver more accurate to the origi...

Agear. I am. I have my beautiful and spectacular Der Muzik's up for sale right now. With the new room, and the absolutely reference level Burnester mono amps and pre-amp I felt it was appropriate to most up to a pair of speakers that equal everyth...

Grannyring - the vapor room was packed and very chatty (a chronic problem at these shows. I wish people would take the conversations into the hallway). What I heard I liked. I was in that room late day 1. I only had Friday to cram everything in. I...

Wisnon,I saw 2 rooms with Lampy. The Big 7 room was very good, but I'm not a huge fan of those speakers. It's always hard to identify what, In a show room, is holding the room back but in that room I think the speakers were the limiting factor. Th... 
Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?
Ozzy. I upgraded to the most current firmware of the time I had it. And I asked them for an extension on the trial period to fully burn it in (they were very nice about saying yes). So my unit had about 750 hours on it by the time I was done.They ... 
Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?
Listen and decide for yourself. They have a money back guarantee. It has a mediocre usb input card, so keep that in mind if that is your Input of choice. I didn't try it with their spinner, which is probably your best bet. Read my thread on absolu...

Any other North Easterners loving this relentless snow as little as I am!?!?And, believe it or not, I'm still not up and running. My fuses finally came in but I haven't had time to install them. And the final piece of the puzzle is arriving tomorr...

Congrats Steve!I'm assuming the OR6 tech is integrated into the ODSX Diamond. Are you considering using the Dynamo supply and power block usb supply for the ODSX as well?If we use the TotalDac usb cable, is it necessary/compatible to use the Short...

Metralla - I meant no disrespect. I happen to have an intense fascination for the linguistic origin of expressions (and curses). I was just sharing another of my passions. Although I question some of their accuracy, I have amassed a tidy collectio...
