Resonessence Mirus Pro DAC review
@ calvinjSo far the Veritas is a fine DAC. My main use for it is for Red Book playback only, so far no streaming. I was looking for a DAC that sounded as good as my Esoteric CDP and I have not been disappointed. The sound is nice and clean. . .  i... 
Resonessence Mirus Pro DAC review
Very nice write up on the Mirus DAC.I have it's  little brother the "Veritas" which has a single  ESS9028PRO DAC chip, instead of the dual DAC chip in the Mirus Pro.  
Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) Platforms
Why not Timbernation racks? Made from solid hards woods and can be customized to fit your needs.  
Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures
I would suspect the Moon amps will be as good or better than the IA since the PA/Amp will be separated. The IA is no slouch by any means, but you would need to stay in the same line, of amps, to get a fair comparison. Moon’s Evolution series amps ... 
Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures
Moon amps mate very well with Dynaudio. I  listened to a C-4 driven by a Moon 600i in a huge room and it was very impressive, the entire room was immersed in great sound.  
What CD player/transport has the most stable mechanism?
I'll pile on too, Esoteric is the way to go.

Cable elevators
Can anybody see the flashing lights ahead? It's the approaching train wreck! This thread has vered into!Is there any relationship in improved SQ by getting the speaker cable off the floor and using high end amp fuses at the same time?  
Cable elevators
I have a set from Music Direct..so far the sonic value has been zero, they sit on carpet. My friends seem to get a good laugh out of it and like to remind me what a waste of money it was. I'm glad be to a source of inspiration for them. 
Best standalone music server?
I ripped all of my CDs, to an external HD, and then transferred the files  to my Aurender N-100H server. The process was very easy and very happy with the end result. My main goal was to move to a digital front end system, but I did not want a lap...
