| which preamp Sabai,Bear in mind the PS DS DAC requires at least 50 hrs of burn in to begin sounding like it will, and 100 to reach orime state. I think you will find it a breathtaking experience.Neal | |
| Help me spend $3000 on a used amp As a long-term and very happy owner of a Krell FPB 300cx, I recommend it highly. Built like a tank, delicate and nuanced sound, and bass a-plenty when necessary. Can't go wrong.Neal | |
| Looking for bookshelf speakers IMHO, that room is too large for bookshelf speakers.Neal | |
| Best CD transport? CEC's in general are tops in my experience, and I have a CEC TL-1X modded by RAM that I would match up against any turntable.Neal | |
| Looking for bookshelf speakers That's a large room for bookshelf speakers? why not floorstanders for a room that size? | |

| What's the best Dac for the money You should check out the PS Audio Direct Stream. It is an "ear-opener" for Redbook and has SOTA capabilities for hi-res and DSD. beautiful looking too.Neal | |
| Best Rock Album of 2014 New Conor Oberst must be a contender. A major performance -- great songwriting, excellent arrangements, soulful singing. never much liked him before but this is dazzling.Neal | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Bander,I suggest an even broader rule; no comments from any manufacturer touting his/her own products. That's what ads are for. If people like Audioengineer want to share their technical insights, those are welcome, but mfr/members should not use ... | |

| DAC Burn-In Question Thanks Mrderrick. I am running it most of the day now to accelerate burn-in. Last night I listened to LCD Soundsystem's Dance Yourself Clean, a synth pop tune, and almost jumped out of my chair. The clarity and realism were astonishing.Every now a... | |
| DAC Burn-In Question Tbooe,It is about half-burned in and it sounds better than any DAC I have heard anywhere. Bass needs to come around and highs still a bit thin.When I feel it is nearly done I will say more.FYI, TAS and Stereophile this month both have reviews.Chee... | |
| DAC Burn-In Question Thank you very much. What a relief! | |
| CD Transports a relic or a good option? Aune/AN Budburma,I will be interested to hear how the Music vault with an AES/EBU output works out. I sue a Bryston BDP-1 digital transport to a new PS Audio Direct Stream DAC, using a Stealth Sextet AES/EBU digicable, which produces awe-inspiring sound, ... | |
| CD Transports a relic or a good option? Aune/AN They are a good option to have even if you mainly use computer audio. A good transport, e.g., CEC TL-1X, with a good digital cable, will give a warmer, more natural and realistic sound to the music, as opposed to the cold sterile sound produced by... |
