Schiit Loki Max?
I have no reason to expect I won't like the Max-- I had a Loki to begin with and from there upgraded to the Lokius.  At this point my system is considerably more neutral than it's ever been (I favored a more euphonic presentation in the past, befo... 
Schiit Loki Max?
Will do, but I won't be posting a review anytime soon, as the website currently states "ships in 6 to 8 weeks". . . .           
A Journey, A Revelation and Wonder
Depends what you like. I compared 6 DACs in my system, from 2K to 6K and the sonic signatures varied enormously. The La Voce was my favorite of the bunch and I've had no reason to upgrade. Be aware that many here prefer a much more precisely  deta...

AKM makes the best DACs

What Recordings Of Yours Did Not Age Well?
@sns : 70's rock is what hasn't aged well for me. I'm drawn to much more complex music these days, jazz, classical, electronic now far more appealing to me. 70's rock is nostalgic for me, used to romanticize those days, now I recall the druggie d... 
Random You Tube find-Jessie Ed Davis- as told by Walter Trout

Neil Young - Barn Documentary
@pops , @sns : I agree. And when it comes to tunes like Like a Hurricane or Cortez, he's in a class by himself. No one can do what he does when he's deep into playing such tunes.
