| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? +1 Zd & Al. I would get shorter speaker cables also. Would not make any other significant changes until room is finished and tuned to your liking. | |

| DAC for iMac System Willie, I am sure you are correct given that a new Bitfrost with Uber retails at $550. Would make for a great deal at $300 used. Maybe in another year? I am tempted to try out a Modi for a second system and would like to hear from someone who has ... | |

Great way to discover new music, and serves well for backg... | |
| Have Good DAC, Will This Work A Transport? I would think that the sony would make a good transport. Only takes a quality coax cable to try it out. I also own the BDA-1 and it serves me well. | |
