Poor man's reference DAC
Yep, I fourth the Audio Logic ! 
audio logic 34- upgrade info
Brooksl, I found there are a few different model variations among the Model 34. I had Bigkidz's 34 in my system before I received mine, it was an earlier model with a different circuit board layout and so on. I did some tube swapping (same tubes ...

Reference Audio Lab Modified CEC TL1-X
O.K. Psychicanimal, looks like mine will be taking the same route yours did, the adjectives and adverbs in your descriptives say it all, i'll be patient and get on the waiting list. You would have heard from me, but my outgoing email WON'T SEND ! ... 
Kudos to Keb Mo & Los Lonely Boys
Just got this CD the other day and love it !! These guys are REAL good. I'm glad to see this thread popped up, I was gonna start one myself to see how many people like them. They sound a little like Los Lobos, Santana, Allman Brothers & Big He...

AL 24MXL VS Trivista DAC?
Audio Logic is a small, very hi-end company located in Danbury Ct. Jerry Ozment is the genius behind it.I own an earlier model 34 which happened to be Jerry's personal unit a while back. I looked far and wide for a tubed dac, hearing this was qui... 
Maggie's and cats
If your having cat problems, you can try playing Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever" loudly though your system (like a burn-in cd) and I'm sure they'll stay far away. Plato's idea's a good one, or you can try placing (don't laugh, it works but doesn'... 
Does the original Audio Logic stand up to new dacs
I'll second Rcprince's response, the A.L. Dac was and still is light years beyond it's time, there may be a few other tube dacs such as Audio Note 4 and 5, Zanden, Audio Aero Prima Dac, that sound great also, but when you get this far, it's system...
