| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Oregonpapa, thanks for a great review. I intend to search out some of your references. Last year in the spring I was listening to my system when i took a walk outside to the poolside deck. The pool was not yet opened and covered and served host to... | |
| integrated watts or amp watts I tend to agree that at the $1500 range an integrated amp would provide a greater return on $$ in most cases. That said, there are cases where the flexibility of separates may need be considered.As Zd states, power ratings vary widely between comp... | |

| would I be better off... I found the DL III to be a fine DAC and very worth the used price i see then go for here on AG. Yes the USB was included for convenience. I used a USB/SPDIF converter as well. Problem is that it only has a single coax input so makes it difficult t... | |
