| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC Elberoth, thanks for posting your impressions of the Octave. Like Lewinski I'm interested in your source and any software such as Pure Music.Your component selection over the years has been spectacular but I've really enjoyed your photo journal of... | |
| Paradigm Signature S2 v3 vs S4 v2 I remember being enthusiastic by the affordability and value offered by this company when I purchased my first pair of Studio 100's. A knowledgable friend strongly suggested listening to the slightly higher priced Hales. I had compared them both i... | |
| Looking for a DAC for the Squeezebox Touch I was in the same boat not long ago and my short list was very similar to yours. In doing my research I soon realized that most people involved with primarily digital audio setups are on a different better or worse scale than the analog side. You ... | |

| Need Help with Value Leonard, welcome to this wacky world. In doing a quick search of your Fathers gear it's apparent this is from a period when some great designs were created but the market was small. It's easy to say that since then much has changed and so have the... | |
| Digital Abbey Road fails for me I would agree with Wildoats. Robbob, if you're comparing the original or even subsequent reissues of the American LP's there is going to be differences. Some years ago I purchased a German copy of the White Album and I was stunned by just how poor... | |
| Experience with Metrum Octave DAC After a five week wait, a week of continues play, and running Pure Music, this is a huge improvement over the Squeezeboxes analog outs. | |
| What's important in a budget HT in wall speaker?? I'd look the one's that let you aim the high frequency driver. I know they're out there I forgot what the brand. | |
