| Best DAC for Sonos I should add that I had the Cullen mod (now done by W4S) done to my ZP-90 and it made a noticeable difference. Was it worth the money? It's a lot, more than the Sonos itself, but I love the Sonos controlled via my iPad. I wish it were cheaper, but... | |
| Best DAC for Sonos Personally, I'd avoid the Benchmark - I had one and found it too harsh with my Krell 400xi and Dynaudio speakers. I used it with a Sonos and Airport Express. | |
| Replacements for Dynaudio Floorstanders To add, I think if you replaced your Dyn's with B&W Nautilus speakers, paired with that Krell and Benchmark DAC, you would not experience any more warmth. In fact, I think your problem would get worse. | |

| Anyone tried the Benchmark You can always try out the Benchmark. The upside is that it has decent resale value and you won't lose much, especially if you buy used to begin with. If you like it, that's great because they are not super expensive. I've had a few headphones in ... | |
| Anyone tried the Benchmark I have the HD-650's and had the Benchmark DAC. I also used the DAC-1 with my Krell KAV-400xi/Dynaudio Contour S3.4 speaker setup. FYI, Head-Fi.org has a ton of info about the headphone pairing with this DAC and others. What I can tell you about my... | |
| Powerline Ethernet - Does it affect A/C noise? Ha, "snake" is okay too. Yeah, I should have specified better - we are going to be in an apartment. Not sure if I can drill and I'd rather not run wires down the hallway. | |
| CD player recommendations under $2K used Meridian 588, or if you can stretch it, a G08 |
