    TASCAM UH-7000

    Use speakers, all recordings except binaural are meant for speakers, you'll never get correct sound stage using headphones for example. The Tascam is the most accurate DAC I've came across. Most high-end DAC is the opposite of accurate, they try to make things sound better than they are, I had a...

    emotivas new stealth 8 powered monitors any impressions?

    If a premium fuses has effect on sound quality then that equipment was beyond poorly designed. I have tried one before, and it made no difference what so ever.

    Subjective Tests Indicate High-Resolution Audio Offers No Benefits

    1-bit sigma-delta converters sucks, lost almost $1000 on one. And yeah, the noise level was ridiculous on it.   Multi-bit is the future (and the past), now I realize why the industry moved in the direction it did.

    Subjective Tests Indicate High-Resolution Audio Offers No Benefits
