I would have to agree with Herman's jitter concerns. I was running a Waveterminal U24 directly into a CAL Alpha (18 bit) dac and then into my Adcom GFP-750 (passive stage). The CAL Alpha was a big improvement over just using the U24's own dac in t...

Sexiest Pop Song Ever?
Bryan Ferry - 'Boys and Girls', the entire CD. Essential music for bedroom sports. 
Morph The Cat : Revisited

What music do you want to play really loud?
Just picked up a copy of Queen - The Game - MFSL UDCD-1-610. I must say that Track 2, 'Dragon Attack' certainly deserves mention in this thread. Brian May - full shred!
