Electrocompaniet ECD-1 Impression/Appreciation thread!
@The Monkey, you beat me on the Dodson Dac last week. Even with its age, Dodson had an edge against ECD-1. Well, it should when you consider its new retail price tag. Also, you might wanna consider doing the cryo treament on your ECD-1 for it will certainly lower the noise floor a bit.- WiredCon

Electrocompaniet ECD-1 Impression/Appreciation thread!
I'm already starting to regret that I let go of this dac...Do note that after the cryo treatment, it got noticeably more quiet than stock form. I only preferred Bel Canto CD-2/Dac3 combo over ECD-1/CD-2 in my system for more extended highs and a bit more sharp imaging that made me feel like...- WiredCon

Help: Apogee Duet+GS1000+ AMP?
It is my understanding that amp section of Duet is not its best feature and there's plenty of room for an improvement. As I plan to try out some high-end HPs for their different sound signitures, I wanted to have a decent set-up that can fully ultilize those high-end HPs' potentials. The deal...- WiredCon

Help: Apogee Duet+GS1000+ AMP?
Currawong- I just got this Duet to use it as a DAC only, are you saying that Duet's DAC is not sufficient enough to be paired up with GS1000? Or, just telling me that there are better choices out there (for under $300, or somewhere close ^_^)? I thought it was a good move after reading many...- WiredCon
