| Looking for new DAC: one box or two? I doubt that we will get a legitimate response from Coli/ilok regarding his comment.Coli is mad that the Directstream didn't work out for him, and is now spewing his vitriol for all things PS Audio at every chance he gets. In another forum, he cal... | |

| Another Tbg --"Rhanson739, You are making a mistake,..."Oh, that's just such a special, adorable way of putting it. To complete that sentence with the patronizing and condescending addition of "...we only learn through our mistakes" just polishes it up to... | |
| Another Guido,Let's not forget kryptobrand. Keeping it was also an option. Not a great option, considering where class-d has evolved to, but a worthy option nonetheless. | |
| Perfectwave PWD MKII, Benchmark DAC2, Wyred DAC2 There you go again, Coli/ilok, evangelizing your contempt for both the Directstream, and bordering on slander of PS Audio in other forums.Tell me, does your current system play more than one note?This sort of statement is all I've ever seen you wr... | |

| Another The Maggie's are 86db and tend to 4 ohms.No matter. A decision has been made. It does not involve the H-cat, for any of a number of reasons. | |
| Another Tbg, Thanks for the input. If that's the same X10 I'm looking at online, then I don't believe 100W RMS is going to cut it when driving the Maggies. They are thirsty speakers. | |
| Another Ricred1, I'll be posting a comparison here before too long. | |
| Well recorded solo piano and solo acoustic guitar? Thanks, all, for the recommendations. I'm chasing them down one-by-one.Slaw3: Which store in Jupiter? We're heading down there in a couple of weeks. | |
| Another It has been a couple of weeks since this whole process started, so I thought I'd give an update. Thanks to everyone here for the suggestions, and special thanks to my new friend, Guido. Guido has been an enormous help both in terms of information,... | |
