Rack for Pass XA30.8
Salamander synergy racks. Fits on the bottom shelve. 
If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
Hi bigkidz (Peter),I have one and it is built like a tank and sounds much better than my Directstream Transport.Give me a call if you want to check it out. I also purchased a First Watt SIT-3 amp. Which sounds great with my speakers.Joe 
What speakers are you running with your Pass Labs XA 30.8?
Hi flip49er,I have a Pass Labs 30.8 that I run with Horning Eufrodite Ellipse speakers and the pairing is wonderful, but received Nelson Pass SIT-3 amp and use Frankenstein 300b mono blocks.So I want to sell the XA-30.8 amp and also have a PS Audi... 
Cos D1 V2 / Denafrips Terminator DAC
Mike Powell had both to compare. He is OCD hi-fi guy on You Tube. Shoot him an email. He should give you some answers.He also makes Verrastar ribbon cables. 
Anyone receive their Zu Druid VIs yet?
I heard them at the CAF and was impressed. I used to have the Druid V's and the 6's sound more open with better bass.The cost is a lot more but the construction is much better.Sean did a nice job with them! 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
@audiolabyrinth The Memory Player is designed by Mark Porzilli. The company is Laufer Teknik it is not a PS Audio product.Hope that clears things up.

lordcloud good luck with your search!

Lordcloud, you mentioned some excellent DACs but, at a much higher price point. I heard the original Aqua Formula and I think the Terminator was very close. I'm sure the updated Formula xHD surpassed the older one but it is $17,000 now.I'm sure yo...

Skala or Kleos?
I had Dynavector XX2mkII and now use a Kleos SL, which I think is a big step up, IMS. 
Down side of speaker swop from AZ to Tonian Labs ?
Wig,How much you want to spend? I think Horning Aristoteles would be excellent for what you listen to.I have the Horning Eufrodite Ellipse which are the next speaker up and love them. They ended my speaker search after over 40 years of being in th... 
350.8 to 30.8
That's your opinion browndt. I think the only advantage of the X.8 compared to XA.8 amps is bass slam and dynamics. The mids and highs on the XA amps are more natural and organic.If you don't need all that power and depending on the kind of music ... 
Upgrade from Pass Labs XA30.8 to X250.8. Worth it?
hk-fan, I agree. If you are going to use hi-efficient speakers stay with the XA amp. 
A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio
Almarg, I have Horning Eufrodite Ellipse speakers, which I run with 300b's and Pass XA-30.8. My Supratek Sauvignon has adjustments for gain, so I should have no problems.Teajay, looking forward to your review once you get the amp.Sorry for going o...
