Given the recent slew of posts regarding vinyl/turntables, and RIAA figures noting a marked uptick in vinyl sales at the expense of cd's, could we be on the cusp of a resurgence in vinyl? And, could vinyl perhaps, if not stand shoulder to shoulder with digital downloads/cd's, at least enjoy a...

Wow! great pice of kit! after unboxing my lavry and hooking it up I am overwhelmed. I auditioned a benchmark about a year ago and was pleased with it but didnt pull the trigger on a dac purchase until last week...having never listened to the lavry before I was taking a little bit of a leap (and...

my m-audio firewire just isnt cutting it anymore in dac duties...ive already tried a bunch of tube dacs but the end result is horrible when mated with warmth of the earmax pro (it ends up being a warm, muddy mess---perhaps too much of a good thing)...i'm figuring a ss dac would be the best way...

i have been using my m-audio firewire from my computer and then i pipe the analog unbalanced out to my earmax pro...i was thinking about getting a dac with a digitial coax...to those m-audio firewire users out ther---how is the digital out section of the firewire? would it be an appropriate link...

I have been reading the forums diligently and looking for pics of the pico dac/amp but none answer this q directly, only obliquely, and the back pics of the pico only show the pico sans dac so i dont know if there are unbalanced outs on it...i am interested in possibly getting a used pico...

I love, yet I hate, these cans...i have decided to keep them but want the best recable currently offered in se application...something that retains their accurate qualities yet tames the shrill and faitguing edge making them a better all around hp...does anyone have suggestions?---particularly...

I recently acquired an earmax pro and have been pulling my hair out trying to get a good dac under or around 600 clams that synergizes well with the emp in my computer rig and 5,000 cd's worth of wavs....ive auditioned several tube dacs but given the natural tubiness of the emp combined with the...
