| Cables more hype than value? I have a hard time in believing that there are many "bad" cables. I think with brands like Cardas, Pink Faun, Kimber and Nordost you cannot really chose a bad cable. But I am open for suggestions. I am more or less looking for new speaker cables I... | |

| spdif/USB converter vs DAC upgrade Steve,Thank you for your reply. I noticed there a I2S output on Off-Ramp 5. That got me thinking. Why just get a I2S output card for a PC and then use a DAC with I2S input. I know a company that is developing a I2S PCI (PCIe) card. But I there do ... | |
| Schiit Gungnir DAC - anyone have one of these? How can dynamics be overblown? Also what info do you need from the display? I think all you need is 1 light to see if it is on or off. Maybe I am thinking to simple. Also DSD is IMHO usless. Almost no music has been recorded in DSD. | |

| price point to move to separates vs integrated I see no point in going for seperates unless you want to spend mega bucks. Brands like:AccuphaseLuxmanSymphonic LinePassGryphonCaryNaimVitusBurmesterand many many othersBelow 10K I do not see the point of seperates. But I 'll be the first to admit... | |
