Single driver vs traditional 3 way loudspeakers I'm in the SET/high-efficiency camp with a Decware SE84UFO, Omega Super 3i Monitors (4.5" driver), and an Omega DeepHemp 8 Subwoofer. Magic indeed. | |
Help with DAC choice.... If you purchase a DAC direct from MHDT via ebay they offer a 30-day return. Of course it's always a good idea to contact them directly for complete details on their policy. | |
