Ghasley, i decided to not go the 160i. I went with the separates instead. I was trying to get to Denver but could not make it. Though i did just order a fully loaded Ren. mkIII and the phi 200. I will be out of town when they arrive so it will be ...

VAC 160i, any experiences
Ghasley,Did you get the balanced option. My cd player is hooked up through the balanced outs and it would be cheaper cable wise to upgrade than to buy new reference cables? Matt

Thanks guysIt looks as if choosing a dac is going to be a long process. Like everything else in this hobby. Stanwal: What do you mean by hot.I would like something firewire for the mac. Not a mustAny other suggestion. I just want a basic dac with ... 
Probably a dumb DAC question
Thanks guys,I have not listened to very many dac's. My opinion about them is like what 2chnlben said (less than warm). I think that the manfacturer caught me off guard. My budget is about 2k. New or used. At this point i am using an intergrated wi... 
Probably a dumb DAC question
StanwalThe reason i ask the question is that when i talked to a certain dac company they said that their dac might be a little too warm sounding to be used with a tubey sounding pre. I had never thought about that until they mentioned it. 
Integrateds with DAC?
I have the Bryston B100 with dac in my office setup with my macbook pro. Really hard to beat the sound. Lots of powerMatt

Amp suggestions for sofia's
Wow, this is going to be harder than i thought. One of the things i have to consider is how well my bryston pre will match what ever amp i choose. I know once i get a new amp that i will eventually get different pre, but for now i have to stick wi... 
Amp suggestions for sofia's
Thanks for your responses. I have been leaning towards the CJ but after reading up on the ARC it has possiblities. I have a small (18ft x 12ft), but well treated dedicated listening room so volume isn't an issue. The bass is what i am worried abou...
