Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up
unfortunately there is no elephant in the room. and the system will continue as it is today because 1. the manufacturers are smart. a $100k speaker in their line will usually sound better the $50 k one. i am talking about the products from the same manufacturer. just like gumby is better...- mcduman

Thoughts on a bunch of DACs (and why delta-sigma kinda sucks, just to get you to think about stuff)
i spotted a theta gen V but the owner warned me there were additional known problems with the 230v european models and even theta acknowledged it at the time. though he was not sure what it was. anyone in the know has any further details?- mcduman

It appears all the "VERY GOOD STUFF" on page 1 had the benefit of a good DDC like the OR5 whereas the other stuff were driven from the stock USB inputs or the digital outs of consumer grade pc's. having first hand experience with a decent DDC (battery driven SOtM dx-USB HD), SPDIF is hands down...- mcduman
