Bridge Robertson 4010 Question?
An alternative is to run one channel of the amp. The power supply then has just one channel to "support", even though only one set of output transitors is in play. I think Parasound once advocated this method. Good luck.

Which DAC?
The tweakaudio.com Millennium 1 is an easy choice. I have one if you're interested. 
Thoughts on the new Mapleshade
Not to stir the pot, but what do you suppose his markup is? The rack looks great except for the insane price. Curious how he touts his cork footers at $24; what appears to be the same exact item may be had on Audiogon for $10! http://cgi.audiogon....

Digital world - why have a preamp?
Phile' is correct and succinct. My custom tube-buffered passive out-paces my HQ ss preamp. The argument against passives is unwarranted imo, since each system is unique. Of course you're not listening to the passive per se, you're listening to the...

Junked audio components - hazardous waste...
