Thanks for all of the responses. Sorry for the delay on my part but I wanted to sketch up my room in it’s current configuration and what I could change it to. As far as what I listen to It’s a pretty broad cross section. Mostly mid-1980s and earli... 
Clear Day silver jumpers or equivalent
nonoise, we both agree it seems that when people say bi-wiring doesn't make a difference they either have equipment or ears that are not up to the task of noticing that difference.fiesta75, agree on the benefits of silver. When people say silver c... 
Clear Day silver jumpers or equivalent
Thanks tweak1, actually things have changed a little since my original post. I'm not sure I will really have a need for jumpers. Because I used to bi-amp my speakers I purchased two sets of speaker cables from Paul. Now that I only run a single am...

Thanks again for the help. By all means don't do anything that would damage your interconnects just for reverse engineering purposes. Like I said I have some of his RCA interconnects and if someone were going to cut anything open it should be me. ...

Clear Day silver jumpers or equivalent
adg101,I'm certain Paul would very much approve of those very kind words. Although being such a humble guy he might respond with an "Aw shucks, I'm just a regular guy like everyone else doing the best I can."  With all of the information you were ... 
Full featured balanced dac/preamp advice
Thanks to all, I appreciate the advice. I was able to purchase a hard to find Topping D90 dac/preamp here on the forum yesterday. Most reviews show it to be a great DAC but only a good preamp. If I'm disappointed in the preamp I will use it in dac...

Yes that article mentioned sampling rates of 216kHz/32-bit which I've never seen anywhere else. At the bottom of the review it lists 192/24 which makes more sense and is fine with me. Also this article and anything else I've read doesn't mention t...

The Audio Alchemy DDP-1 definitely has the features. I love the two single ended and one XLR balanced inputs. Doesn't appear to be in production anymore. Maybe I could find a pre-owned unit with the power supply. Did a little research and I can't ...

Full featured balanced dac/preamp advice
Thanks for all the responses. I should have mentioned that the $2,500 price that the Bel Canto goes for is probably at the upper range of what I can spend. Unfortunately that rules out the fine suggestions except the Matrix. I could be wrong but I... 
Comparing Bel Canto and Schiit DACs
Should also have mentioned that it must have balanced outputs when I made the post above 
Comparing Bel Canto and Schiit DACs
Now that the e.One 2.7 DAC has been out for a few years, and with all the advances in dac technology, is it still held in such high regard as it was when it first came out? I assume the answer is yes but would welcome opinions of those in the know... 
Clear Day silver jumpers or equivalent
