KingRex T20 + K1000 impressions/review

KingRex T20 an K1000 amp?
Quote: Originally Posted by musicmind Thanks Mr.Jabba Yes, I think COEM was selling them for about 70AUD more that the Trends, so that makes the KingRex a reasonable upgrade at that price. Seems like the interest in these amps is driving the price up. BTW, which speakers are you...- Mrjabba

Upsampling to NOS DAC
so i've had the src10 and md10 for a few days now.... thought i'd post my impressions on it. the MD10 certainly sounds different to my DAC-AH CAA MOD and i don't think i can say i prefer one over the other. both sound very good in their own way. the MD10 produces a little more bass...- Mrjabba

I need pics of the insides of your 115V DAC-AH
yep you'll need a step up transformer. ALSO from my little knowledge about electronics and breif observations of the internals, i think it's possible to rewire the transformer for 110v.... i would really look into this as a step up can cost a bit and may be detrimental to the sound? can...- Mrjabba
