| Recommend DAC with optical outputs I think most DACs have optical input. At or below your price point, Schiit Bifrost, Wyred for Sound DAC1, both of these have reputedly great USB implenmentations. Above your price point, the Benchmark DAC1 USB also has a great rep for USB (and the... | |
| need suggestion for external CD ripping drive thanks, I'm seeing a lot of external DVD writer drives, but no CD/ROM drives, I guess that is a sign of the times. I like the Seagate brand, I use one of their external hard drives to hold all my rips... | |

| Best tube-based phono stage? I guess I should have started the thread with "best deck/tubed-phono-stage combo for $1000 or less?" But then no one would have responded, because the "Best Of" forum is not the right place for affordable pursuits. I'll re-post in Analog. Thanks. | |
| Best tube-based phono stage? well I'll have to be patient I guess. I enjoy looking at everyone's recommendations. I found several brands here that I would have otherwise never discovered: HSU, Wireworld, Lifatec, blue jeans cable, Musical Fidelity, and PS Audio. My college ro... | |

| Quad 21L vs. 22L2 Sonic differences? The Quad 21L is a 2 way tower. The Quad 22L is a 2.5 way tower, with a dedicated bass-driver and a mid-bass driver, 3 total drivers incl the tweeter. The 21L2 and the 22L2 are improvements over the 21L and 22L. The cabinet bracing is sturdier, the... | |
| Benefits of MF V-Link with a Mac-based system? No, I think I wrote in my post above, I cannot hear significant differences between the Wireworld coax and the Lifatec optical cables, whether the transport is my Denon changer or my laptop and the Vlink.Keep in mind that the laptop-Jplay-Vlink co... | |
| Best tube-based phono stage? My friend is thinking about buying a Pro-Ject debut III turntable with USB, so he can get his rare vinyl cuts into iTunes. This deck comes with an Ortofon OM5e cart. Does that help? Has anyone got any experience porting vinyl into iTunes? He menti... | |
| Benefits of MF V-Link with a Mac-based system? I don't think the Rega DAC is asynchronous via USB. This means The Rega's clocks depend upon the timing coming from the laptop. PC guys like myself don't have an optical option when going out to a DAC from a laptop, so asynchronous USB is the way ... | |

| Processor DACs After much research trying to fix my own issues in my basement office's 2-channel setup, I recommend a DAC or a USB-SPDIF converter that has a specific clock for 44.1 kHz music (anything ripped from normal CDs). All of my music is Redbook. Most DA... | |
