| A warm DAC? Many of these threads can contain posts that ignore the OP’s question. Look at his request again. He clearly states his mission, his concerns and the equipment he has. The major variables in this game are the listening room accoustics, desired aud... | |
| Aurender's "Sound" Interesting...I went the other way. After upgrading to Spendor D9 speakers I found that some recordings sounded a tad bright and cold. Using a Linn DSM with a Pass Labs XP-20 pre and a 250 watt Bryston. Prior to that combo I had Rega gear in the m... | |
