If you've done much forum searching, you probably understand that the speaker/amp interface is a much bigger deal than most realize.I have owned quite a bit of PS Audio over the years, and of late I did buy the PS Audio Stellar dac/pre and M700s, ...

Looking to get the best out of Redbook Cd listening with Dac a d Transport under 5K?
I am very happy with my Oppo 105, which I moded the incoming IEC with silver wire loom and Furutech IEC to the power supply board. That alone was amazing improvement,I then upgraded the OEM power supply to a Linear Power Module (both from Ebay) ~ ... 
CD vs CD/SACD Player – Tube-based or Not
I have both a Oppo 105 and a Marantz HD CD 1, which I have used as a transport to the dac in my Audio Alchemy DDP 1 using a very expensive coax cableMy intent was to use the 105 for hi-rez discs and the trans/dac for redbook. The weak link in the ... 
Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria?
I bought a Oppo 105 new, but you can find used ones around $800. I bought mine strictly for hi-rez CDs as I had a heavily moded Pioneer PD 65. Eventually the 65 died. While I was researching what to buy I used the Oppo exclusively. Eventually I ca...

Emerald Physics open baffle are well worth checking out. I have KCIIs with upgrades that are fantastic, but their bigger models with 15" woofers should rock

Time to buy a class D amp?
I had the PS Audio preamp and M 700s. The amps were far superior to the pre, which lacked umph and color, which should be remedied with a beefy outboard PS, like Audio Alchemy's PS 5 did when I added it to my DDP-1I replaced them with Ric Schultz ... 
Speaker Wire suggestions for feeding Rockport Atria II’s?
yakbobyour comment smells of someone with a vested interest, not someone with actual knowledge 
Need under $1500 preamp for my system
the Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 power supply which has a very internal DAC . Plus, it's discrete balanced excellent newer product (2016). Hard to come by but worth the wait
