Let's talk Bluetooth Speakers
Bluetooth speakers. Let's talk about them. You either love them or hate them, or just use them for podcasts I've been getting more into Bluetooth speakers in the last year or so as I realize they're the future of stereo listening and the old 2.0/2.1 system wired up is becoming outdated...- vapman

PS1 as CD player
It has been debated hotly for years about whether an AK4309 VM (not AVM) equipped PS1 with the RCA outs on the back are worth it for CD players. I have had it going into my steteo and compared to some high end and vintage PCDPs (no full size PCDPs around as well as FLAC rips thru my DACs. ...- vapman

I will spend up to $400 on a new DAC, not the Mojo because I want a desktop DAC... now what?
...as I loved the Mojo it was too revealing of flaws on mp3's under 320. a lot of my library is sadly 128-v0 and can't possibly hope to get higher rips without getting the discs myself... so I prefer to use slightly forgiving DACs. that said i screw* loved the mojo when i had it, wish i still had it.- vapman
