| ARCAM rDAC Mark,It's great that you are having such good success with this unit.Having looked over description and specs of the rDAC and having owned several Arcam sources, I am wondering if this unit might not benefit from:- a better DC power source (e.g., ... | |
| Help me build a fine PC sound system "Say what?" Not too terrible in the grand scheme, but a couple of times when HDTracks download stream was slow, I'd return to find that a single-album download was stored with each song in individual folders. I combined songs into a single file fo... | |
