What dealer/distributor has influenced you most?
I never let a "dealer" influence my audio hobby. A dealer usually has an agenda to lead one to what is most profitable, regardless of sound quality. The best influences were other audiophools who have been around a while and offered up some very g... 
CD Tweeks...Improve Ripped SQ?

CD Tweeks...Improve Ripped SQ?
Gents,I asked this question purely out of curiosity. My intent wasn't to start any kind of useless arguments or childish questions.I had gotten into a discussion with a compu-phile who was adamant about the difference. I thought that bits were bit...

MCRU = Mains Cables Are Us?What is the voltage for the DAC? 
Speaker Cables For Big Horns & Tubes
Jsman,When I had my Lowther horns I wired everything with DNM Precision speaker cables. The cable is designed to work with speakers that are greater than 90db. Excellent sounding solid core copper cables that won't break the bank.

anyone heard digital transport?
Bird_9527I took a look at the QLS350-V2 and it seems to be very similar to the AK 100 at less than half the cost. There are some pluses and minuses to each unit, but for me sound quality is most important. You have stated that the QLS350-V2 sounds... 
Has anyone heard the DSPeaker?
Zeal,They are installed by the manufacturer near the connectors.Plug them in just like any other XLR or RCA cable. In the picture the HFTN's are in the black shrink wrap attached to RCA jacks.http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?action=gallery;ima... 
anyone heard digital transport?
I have been looking into the Astell & Kern AK 100($700.00USD) and AK 120($1300.00USD). They are portable digital headphone units with internal storage and can have micro SD cards inserted for more content. The AK 120 boasts Dual Wolfson Dacs t... 
Has anyone heard the DSPeaker?
Zeal,Roscoeiii is right about what a 2.2 system is, 2 monitors and 2 matching subs.In this speaker configuration the Dual Core can really show it's stuff. My monitors (Shelby+Kroll Nano's) have a steep drop off at 100hz and the matching subs (Shel... 
Entire system cable recommendation
DNM HFTN IC's and Speaker Wire, solid core copper so neutral it is like having co cable at all. If bought new you could do your system for about 1k depending on length, and send the rest to the Rodge827 Hurricane Sandy Recovery Fund :-). OK maybe ... 
Has anyone heard the DSPeaker?
Been using the Dual Core 2.0 as a Dac, preamp and room correction for about a year. Very highly recommended with a high quality 12v battery or linear power supply. My system is a 2.2 rig and going with the DNM HFTN cables as upgrade is worth every... 
Setting up dual subwoofers to a two channel amp.
I had a 2.2 set up with a single driver speaker, matching subs, and a 300b set amp. I ran direct from the amp to the main speaker then a jumper from the main speaker to the powered subs. I tried to dial in the subs as best as possible, but had nul... 
People buying Transports again?
Photonman,The 47 Labs Flatfish is at the heart of my digital front end. I had it modded with a Super Clock and Black Gate Caps in all of the right areas. Powered with a custom battery power supply.The finest piece of musical gear I have ever owned...
