| Anyone in NYC own the Quad 988's or 989's? Sound by Singer has recently become a Quad dealer. They have 988's on display in their back room. | |
| Sony SACD Owners: Anyone Use a DAC for Redbook? Own a 777 and use a Bel Canto DAC 2 along with it. Definitely smooths out glare and opens up the soundstage. | |

| Any user of Bel Canto DAC 2 ? Also pair the DAC 2 with a Sonythe 777 SACD player. Have found that the DAC 2 ameliorates digital hardness and glare, deepens the bass, and, in general, makes things more listenable. | |
