arafig///// Thanks so much, I think? I'm laughing now as my investigation continues. The company owner that I'm dealing with said, EXACTLY THE SAME THING!!! Thanks

rsf507//// Thanks for the taking the time to respond so quickly. Much appreciated. Just reading the owners manual for both and trying to understand operating principals. Ill be using it as JUST a Dac. Would like to save some money, so I'm leaning ... 
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
Just to offer my 2 cnts. There are 2 reasons I took a flyer for a third RS2T. As it has already been stated the first 2 were not workable. I sent them back to TMR, with a through explanation. They were great to deal with. If it were not for TMR, a... 
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
Wharfy/David: Thanks for the return post. I am so lucky (so far) with my 3rd (hopefully a winner) RS2T.  I also invested through LT Audio a LPS and the DAC combo sounds GREAT. In my secondary system, I use a DAC 3B Benchmark, and an Audio lab 600... 
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
I currently own a RS2T. I went through 2 prior units that were faulty. Charles 1 and I went back and forth with posts. He stated 3 strikes and your out. When the earlier units were working they were to die for, my audiolab 6000CDT is a great unit ... 
Upgrading preamp. Best for under $1K
BENCHMARK , Try to find a used LA-4 pre amp. New,  about 3 K. I have 2 systems, one manages each, like it that much, solid state. Robert TN  
What is your most fond musical memory.
For the above post, I forgot to mention this all took place in the late 60"s may be very early 70's. Just to place a date on it. Above word in earlier, Mesmerizing ! Should have proofread, sorry.  
What is your most fond musical memory.
Mine may not quite as memorable, living in NY about an hour from the City, my evening routine would start at 11pm.  A Disc jockey from WNEW 107.9 (I think) Allison Steele referred to as the NIGHT BIRD would begin her show for several hours. She ha...

No I did not. I got a great deal on a Pass X-250.8    With my current system it runs in Class A all the time, sweet.  No regrets, and the great deal didn't hurt either, still a lot of money for me, cost of doing business I guess.. Good luck.

I listened to the review of the 3 schiit units. Very interesting, and somewhat confusing at the same time. More is less, less is more, and the top of the line OG, I think?  Will continue to look,and review, Thnaks  
recommendation of amps
yyzantabarbara and ddafoe,   Thank u both for your input. I currently run in both my systems  The LA-4 pre amp, like it that much, Gain control is great and with a firm ware upgrade you can now see the volume level far away, which is nice (sit abo...

I may just keep the benchmark, as it is very good. I had the benchmark in my main system earlier, and felt it was lacking (maybe in clarity, and depth,voice)  I replaced it with a great deal (meitner MA1 V2 DAC) The Meitner seems to punch ahead  (... 
recommendation of amps
Thank you all so much for your suggestions. ALL very good. Its been awhile, here is what has transpired. I decided to Move the ATI 6002 Amp into my smaller stereo room, (As I like it that much,so do the Fritz Carbons) and sounds great.      As my... 
Budget preamp recommendation...besides Schiit.
I have 2 systems, one considerably higher than the other, and both are anchored by the Benchmark LA-4 pre -amp, balanced.  30 day trial period, guaranteed to keep. One of the best pieces of Audio equipment around, and actually priced reasonably, r... 
If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound?
I guess I must add my 2 cents. My system (large acoustical area and 80 to 90 db Rock and Roll only) Pass x250.8 (running in Class A) Tekton Double impacts upgraded, SVS Sb 4000 sub, Meitner MA1 V2 DAC, Project RS2T transport, all decent cabling, n...
