Jazz for aficionados
@curiousjim  OK.  I was simply letting you know about a certain Aqua DAC available used from a dealer I directed you to in the past. It is perhaps the same unit I'd seen on their website but was gone  the next time I checked.  It seems to be bac...

@klimt  You're welcome, if that was directed towards me.
