Audiolab CD8200CDQ
There is now an Audiolab 8300CD that accepts raw DSD via SPDIF (I think!). Not sure if the Audiolab 8300CD is better than the Audiolab 8200CDQ, nor as flexible (no analogue inputs), perhaps not but we shall see :) 
Audiolab CD8200CDQ
I brought one and I have been comparing this player to a Revox/Studa c221CDP and it is pretty good indeed and quite similar in many ways. The Audiolab CD8200CDQ seems to take a long time to burn in, at least 200hrs of playing, but it is starting t...

Review: KLEI gZero10 Interconnect
Ad010685, I have the old gZero6 ICs and gZero6 SCs and I find them both to be fabulous although I plan to get the gZero20 ICs (pretty soon actually). Actually, I guess, to get the gZero20 ICs must mean that I am extremely impressed with the old gZ...

max spade width for plastic covered binding posts

max spade width for plastic covered binding posts
That sounds like a good idea :) 
max spade width for plastic covered binding posts
Thanks peoples, after more checking it appears that a spade with a 13.5mm width can be used the plastic shrouded posts :)Yes, they seem like quite a nuisance and maybe not a good idea. Bananas are definitely easier :) 
QUICK REVIEW: KLEI gZreo2D & 3D SPDIF cables
Williewonka, the KLEI gZero2D Spdif IC is definitely the best Spdif that I have ever used/heard so the KLEI gZero3D Spdif IC must be quite spectacular... thanks for the info :) 
Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?
What is the right choice! I would guess it is the one that you make at the time that you make it otherwise you will never make a choice :)

Why do you ask... 
Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?
I have heard the latest firmware upgrade and It is good, but I have heard better and I have heard a couple of DACs and CD players (1, 2, maybe 3) that are cheaper, even much cheaper, that are as good and as versatile (and even more versatile) imo :)
