| Weakest digital link: DAC - Streamer - Server? Members here like @jasonbourne52 tell you that the DAC is the most important part of the chain. Then, in their very next breath they tell you that they all sound the same and don't spend over a couple hundred dollars or you are an idiot. Good tim... | |

| Merry Christmas to Me.....New tonearm on the way Congrats on the purchase. | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? The TESLA 3 with Dual Motor’s, which is about $55,000 does a 0-60 in about 3.1 seconds, which is better than almost every Ferrari ever made except the most recent 488 at > $250,000 and some previous ultra expensive models. Yeah, but all i... |
