I think the new mid/woofers are much better than the older Confidence series drivers, and the new Contours also have ... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 If you like the PS Audio DSD DAC, then you should DEFINITELY find a used one below $3500, I'm not even sure what's the thread is about at this point. We mentioned plenty of r2r options besides the Yggy below $3500. | |
