Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire?
Aber23 - I'd recommend trying out Mundorf's 1.5mm solid-core Silver/gold(99% silver/1% gold) wires, or the 0.5mm variant for interconnects. To my ears they contribute to a wonderfully coherent, highly resoluted, dynamic(micro as macro), well-balan... 
Best DAC under 2k US ?
NuForce DAC-9. 
Raidho C1.1
Oh, and not least: the new "fishbone" pattern ribbon in the tweeter of the C1.1 was (and of course remains) installed in their flagship, the C4's, which we heard during our visit as well, and even though the C4's at the time were not developed int... 
Raidho C1.1
Sadly, no - but perhaps this recent review of the C1.1's, if you haven't read it already, could illuminate a bit on the specific nature of the sonic changes/improvements: http://www.raidho.dk/uploads/RaidhoC11_audiobeat.pdf Almost two years ago I ... 
Can DAC with volume control act as Pre-amp?
I'm using a nuForce DAC-9 as a DAC/preamp with a nuForce Stereo 8.5V3 poweramp, and it sounds terrific. I believe the volume control in the DAC-9 is "digitally controlled in the analog realm," whatever that entails. From the little I've experiment... 
Beyma 12BR70 bass driver
Transl -In some three weeks time I'll receive a new pair of Auto-tech The Mummy II speakers, with the Beyma 12BR70 bass/midrange unit and BMS 4524 compression driver. Based on my initial impressions though, in named combination, I can say the Beym... 
The search among the great ones - 20k+ speakers
Melchor -How about going active:http://www.atcloudspeakers.co.uk/scm100slat.php(or, if looks doesn't matter much you'd save money with this variant: http://www.atcloudspeakers.co.uk/scm100aslpro.php)http://www.whathifi.com/review/scm-100aA good DA... 
NuForce DAC-9
My DAC-9 should land next week as well :) I intend to use it via its built-in preamp and USB input. 
Auto-Tech speakers
AndrĂ©,thanks for your interest.I'll be adding a new D/A-converter to my setup next week, the NuForce DAC-9, and so I'll be glad to share some new impressions on the (total-)sound of my system once the DAC-9 has been broken in for a couple hundred ... 
Zendo Cables by Mundorf?
Rja -I use the "bare" Mundorf Silver/gold wires(i.e. teflon insulated) both as speakers cables and interconnect's(1.5 and 0.5mm respectively), and if they're any precise indication of the sound via the Zendo's, which I'm assuming since they use th... 
USB cable..what do you have.
Try out the NuForce Impulse Cable. It comes in 0.5 and 1.8m lengths at $20 and $30 respectively, so it's almost for free :)http://www.nuforce.com/hp/products/cable/index.phpIn my setup, compared to the standard stock USB-cable that comes with the ... 
Auto-Tech speakers
Krzycho -Thanks for your interest. No, a NuForce Stereo 8.5V3 poweramp is in use. I've circled the Almarro A318B and WLM Acoustics Sonata, both of which appear to be interesting matches with the Mummies, but I have no intention to replace the NuFo... 
best RCA interconnects under $150
(if you don't mind DIY:)Mundorf's Silver/gold wires(SGW105YE/SGW105WH - 0.5 mm). The Price of silver has sky rocketed, but you should be able to assemble a 1 meter pair for under or in the vicinity of $150. Sound is very highly resoluted, clean, o... 
NuForce DAC-9
Mmeysarosh -The NuForce DAC-9 indeed appears to be a very interesting D/A converter! Can't wait to hear the first reactions - I believe it'll be quite the "giant-killer" at its presumed $1695...
