Nothing lost by working the pots with De-Ox-it. You can isolate pre-amp sec... | |

| DAC 3-4k range I'm enjoying great audio with the Ayre QB-9 into an AX-7e running balanced with Cardas Clear cabling. But of course that's with USB in asynchronous mode, not compatible with your logitech transporter. It's rumored that the next Ayre DAC may suppor... | |
