Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ?
Garebearwould you say more musical because they are fuller sounding and richer in the midrange & bass?

GarebearHow does Clear Beyond compare to Clear or Clear Reflection? 
Cary Audio DAC 200 ts Opinions
Updating this. I bought and ended up selling the DAC 200ts. It sounds OK - it has a full bodied sound but is somewhat lacking in inner detail and subtler nuances. On this front, the PS Audio Direcstream is way better. It was the shortest lived pie... 
Cary Audio: Tube preamp (SLP-98) paired with (SA-200.2) solid state amplifier?
I guess it is a matter of taste.I've heard the SA 200.2 and found it lacking something. Certainly not in the same class as Pass Labs, Threshold or Krell.I heard it with a Cary SLP 05. Given the way it sounded, I am surprised it runs in full Class ... 
Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures

I forgot. if you want to go the integrated route, the Gryphon Diablo will work very well too.By all means, keep the pre and try it out first.

I've used Krell with Dyn's. I think Pass Labs is a more musical match. 
Cary SLP-05 pre + Krell 302e/402e sound? Should I consider a different power amp?
FWIW, I used a Krell FPB 200c with an SLP 05 with no problems at all. I did not have the capacitor jumpers on the amp side for use with a tube preamp engaged at all.It worked fine and sonically added some midrange fullness and body.I think you ... 
Since Krell 302e & Cary SPL-05 have (gain/imp issues) what tube pre is best w/ the krell?

Lampizator Atlantic?
bugman03, how does the sound differ from the Luxman? 
DACs that upsample to DSD internally?
PS Audio Directstream, EMM Labs, dCS are ones I can think of.
