| DAC choice advice - hard-drive based system I strongly recommend you take advantage of as many 30 day trial periods as you can. I have been through 5 DAC's on my hard drive based system and auditioning has been fun and very informative. With Audio Advisor you could try the Benchmark and the... | |
| How can I improve my Sony SCD-777ES for red book I think you would do well to spend the 2.5K (or less) on a nice DAC. The question I think you have to ask yourself is, "am I comfortable with modding my gear?" If you ARE comfortable with modding you would probably get the most value out of moddin... | |

| Used Preamp for $2000 to $3000 Audio-Video Logic is selling a demo Pass X-1 ($2999) which would be a nice match for your Pass amp. Reno Hi-Fi has a factory reconditioned Pass X2.5 for $1750 -- also a nice match for your Pass amp. Good luck, | |

| How to match a tube preamp to a solid state amp? The new modwright preamp is really nice and as HT bypass. | |
| Hard Drive based system I believe it CAN indeed sound as good, if not better. I have the kind of set-up you describe (harddrive, laptop, waveterminal, DAC). The DAC, of course, is critical, but the preamp, amp, and speakers still do matter as much as ever. | |
| Help me pick an amp for under $5,000 Here is a nod to the Pass Labs .5 series. You can find some nice prices on demo units here on Audiogon. You can get the 250.5 for $4500 or less and you can get the 150.5 for a lot less than that (and it would probably be all you need). Of course, ... | |
