| Meze EMPYREAN + Benchmark DAC3B + Benchmark HPA4 I thought I would update this thread with my latest tweak to the Empy. I ordered the Wywires Platinum headphone wire today.

Vivid Audio folks told me that their speakers can be placed rather close to the back wall because of the back wave cancelling tube they use (my layman's explanation). There is a new Vivid monitor (S12?) that is coming out from them very soon which... | |

| Innuos Zen Mk3 - Ultra Rendu and MAC mini Talk to Sonore about incorporating a Fibre Optical conversion into your setup. From what I read it have the impression you are taking Ethernet from your switch into the ultraRendu and taking the USB out from the ultraRendu into your DAC. Their vie... | |
