| Better Sound For Free! What does #3 do? | |
| Solid state DAC under 12K retail preferably with ethernet Best Dac I have ever heard- Bricasti | |
| How important is the rack you use for your components I’ve always used simple steel racks to good effect. My turntable is on a Sound Organisation 3 tier rack; I’ve owned that rack since the early 90’s and have been happy with it. My other gear sits on SolidSteel racks. I’m satisfied with those too.

| Bryston or Pass Labs Well, what did you think of the Bryston? With the Sopra 3, I might lean towards Bryston | |
| Why not batteries instead of power supplies? IIRC, ASR makes battery powered gear | |
| USB cable opinions I'm using Audioquest Carbon to a Bricasti DAC. Very pleased with the results | |
| Speaker Cable Length Impact No point, keep them as is, unless you are going to make a 6 foot pair and a 4 foot pair which you could use elsewhere | |

I later switched to a Rega Exact. Not thrilled with it a... | |
| Single Ended or Balanced -- a Difficult Choice My experience in connecting a Pass preamp to a Pass amp is that balanced is notably superior. Every setup though is unique and my experience is what works for me. | |
| When Money Is No Object -- You Buy Bose? My view my be contrarian, but in a way, the 901’s May be a good choice for this room. If the owners don’t really care about sound quality but simply want broad spacious sound without a sweet spot, which is what I presume from having a conversation... | |
