how to disable volume control on DAC/Pre amp
Thank you both very much for your posts. Pmm, VERY HELPFUL!! Quite a while back I had a Peachtree Nova 300 Int. Amp. I was using a lap top via USB to the NOVA. The lap tops volume control was MAXX.  Somehow (unknown)  on the nova 300, I activated ...

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 ...

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... 
recommendation of amps
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

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... 
recommendation of amps
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  (...
