Enjoying music sure was a lot simpler back then! The fact is, there aren't many audio stores i... | |

| Pros & Cons of Buying an Integrated with Built-in DAC? georgelofi;As it happens, I demo'd a Halo but it didn't move me. I'm going to try out a Peachtree nova 150, which also has a sabre DAC, next. | |

Having owned Rotel and Creek integrates in the past a... | |
