Help choosing a DAC
I think it's best to try to find a way to listen to different DACs in your system. I recently listened to a Aries Cerat and a Mola Mola DAC. Both had very strong recommendations and I didn't like either one. Different systems, rooms, and preferenc...

Your last concert was to see who and when?

I thought the Monitor Audio PL500 II would be my last speakers, but I'm looking into TAD and Vivid Audio as possible replacements.  
Jeff Rowland Aeries DAC comparison to current DACs
In my opinion all DACs don't sound the same. In my experience there are tonal, soundstage, and differences in how bass sounds.

HAVE YOU ARRIVED AT YOUR FINAL SYSTEM AND WHAT’S IN IT? WHAT ARTIST IS YOUR GO TO?
I've known Calvin for several years...I've met his family and he was nice enough to take my wife and I to dinner on his dime. Calvin is a honest person, but it's easy to post stuff on forums without truly knowing the person you're trying to dispar...

Some people need to grow up.
