Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch
Thx, Lewinski.I'm probably still biased as i still have the mindset that Spidf trumps USB as an interface. You are right that this is increasingly challenged. Thx again.p.s. I have a w4s dac1 with the dac2 supercaps to match the audio quality of t... 
Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch
lewinski, why w4s dac2 if you can use the spdif output on the touch? wouldnt a w4s dc1 be enough? 
What software for 24/192 playback on PC?

Hd not recognized on dac...iTunes, pc, USB problem
When I thought everything was solved i was wrong. On longer tracks after a few minutes the jitter reemerges, and the musics skips so much that my DAC loses the connection. Are there any benchmarks that evaluate PC/laptop quality for audio USB play...

Spendor A9 : Your first impressions
Grimace,I feel the same. I keep on adding new equipment always assuming that at some point my spendor s8e becomes my weakest link, but so far, I haven't felt the need yet. truly amazing speakers. Great match with LFD integrated amp gear.

DAC new or used under 2.5K advice
W4s dac1 with supercaps ($50 extra). Love it. Can't go to bed before 3am anymore... 
Wyred 4 Sound Dac1 vs. Dac2
If USB is not your primary source,If you don't care about the remote,Then the dac1 with the $50 supercaps upgrade (ask when you order) is equivalent to the dac2. 
Harbeth shl5 upgrade over spendor s8e?
Thank you for your comments.When you call the spendor more laid back, can you describe what you mean? Is it the sensitivity? Stronger bass and higher frequencies?I like speakers to not "add" to the music. Do the harbeths maintain neutrality? 
Logitech Squeezebox vs. Sonos
I'd recommend coax over optical 
Bach: Six Suites Unaccompanied For Cello
big starker fan. Less fast than the yo-yo ma's, more emotions. For some the finger movements can be distracting though. For me, it's part of the live experience. 
Best Towers Under $1500 for beginner system
There is currently a spendor s8e used for sale on audiogon. Jump on it. I auditioned a few of the speakers you listed and opted for the spendors 2 years ago. I paid $2k used. Never looked back. The better the components around it, the better they ...
