| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I know a guy that has the new Chord DAVE, and he sold his ultra expensive CAD CAT Server, because he said the DAVE does not care about the quality of the digital source... He couldn't tell the difference between it or a simple MAC Mini using this ... | |
| Selling Damaged Magicos The magnets may have come unglued and locked the woofers up also.... Can you move the cones? | |
| Dac evolution.... Depends on the DAC, your expectations, and what you wish to accomplish. IMO, Very few DAC's can replace a world class preamp, but on the same token, if you find a DAC with great volume control (preamp) functionality, it takes a very good preamp to... | |

THIS is the one man. Truly, the one. You won't get a demo without a full deposit though, but it may be... | |

| giant killer xlr's The Antipodes Komoko would be a no brainer here. They get it right. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD The DX should come around nicely. It, along with the Totaldac Server, are the only 2 that I have heard where it doesn't matter if you play Flac or WAV.. It all sounds the same. EXCELLENT! This is processing power at its finest. There is a warm up ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD IME, the more resolute the speakers are, the more flaws are revealed. Taking your complaint, it goes along with my experience with my own speakers (the Joseph's you didn't care for at the store). When music went from a soft to loud sound, or a hot... | |
