how much would you say a good set up cost
Pubul57Just to clarify I had a 30k system that could and would trump some up into 100 k in systems... We could go on and on all day, I was simply stating that you can be happy at many levels lower than some state or maybe think is possible. So you...

I believe still the king of top expense is the Audio note silvers starting at like 1800 or something each in low values, I could be wrong.

Yes I was contacted about the resistors as well… Even though expensive for a resistor 15 bucks is still easily going to sell more than 500 per pair of capacitors for sure! And many more are willing to take the (non) refundable risks if they don't ...

Well hopefully they come thru at some point.. Thats all we can say now!

Volleyguy I see..Well not sure on my math here, but you have now been waiting actually 3 months for those caps if you ordered at the end of july, not 5 weeks as you stated earlier. Thats a big difference, so obviously this issue is quite a bit lon...

I had 30 k invested.. I was able to achieve far more ergonomic, better frequency response, and better performance all together after understanding more principles of the game a few years later and now having only 6,000 total invested :-) Plus you ...

I did not order the cast caps.. Which I would figure are the longest... I ordered just over 2 months ago for the VSF's... So yeah its been a very difficult cap to get obviously, I was told by partsconnexion that if I wanted to order I would need t...

Long Coaxial audio run?
AudioengrSo who makes the optimal USB cable? And dac in your opinion to handle this for that matter?Thanks 
Long Coaxial audio run?
Well then the solution would be a DAC with a USB interface powered off a separate power supply, or maybe a Battery powered supply for the USB charged off the main transformer tap to isolate it with the batteries, and don't batteries supposedly hel... 
? Modded Oppo 983 ?
There is a side benefit not normally mentioned to a standalone dac, its simple, the DAC quite honestly may not be much better than the internal ones on many machines, in fact in some ways might be worse, and having the extra cables etc… Don't help... 
How do you run a separate preamp through an integr
Welcome to "Synergy" 101(which we could get into impedance matching but we won't)... First off an integrated amp simply is an all in one device more or less, some even have tuners for that old thing called AM/FM radio...However fact is that when y... 
Long Coaxial audio run?
ShadorneThanks, I figured it was very similar to how an HDMI type device works, almost identical.. Quality will be built depending on the end device. So it makes sense that the quality will be in the USB dac itself doing its job more so than the d... 
Long Coaxial audio run?
Is USB effected by all this "Jitter" for example a laptop connected to a USB Dac with like a 15 foot USB Cable etc…?
