| My latest upgrade Add some ACME Audio cryo treated power outlets to my last recommendation for even better results and still stay under a $1,000. The NAD has a coaxial output for use with a stand alone DAC down the road. | |
| My latest upgrade NAD 514. Resolution is low compared to what I have come to appreciate, but it's sunny disposition was always appreciated. Available used for about $200.The Bel Canto DAC/Pioneer DVD transport could be a good option. Used $1,000.One I have never he... | |
