    Dac/amp combos perfect transportables?

    This is kinda in response to Boomana's thread about portables not being able to power the 701/650 properly. I was thinking about criteria about recommendation on amps. Usually its someone maximizing their budget on their headphone like a 701 because everyone raves how good it is. As a stopgap...

    lavry 2 channel performance for movies?

    i've heard the lavry for music multiple times at meets and i liked what i heard. Im considering this over a dedicated unversal player in the same price range. Anyone use their lavry da10 for dvds, a little LOTR or saving private ryan impressions would be great.

    Help me find a source to match

    Its tax refund time! got me abouts $1600. Right now with that money im planning on getting darth beyers and a source. One catch is that it has to do double duty to output sound for dvds and give solid playback for reg CDs. External dac or DVD player, I dont care long as i can use it to enjoy...

    any cheaper alternatives to a b-52?

    seems like a b-52 has everything you would want, tubes,balanced& single ended, preamp etc. Are there any cheaper alternatives from other amp makers maybe? Something in the 1k range. Maybe have it use cheaper parts and have a cheaper PSU internally, but still have a professionally done chassis.

    Beyer with no 1k flagship can?

    well there are tons of FOTM cans out there and it seems beyer has been left in the cold when it comes to these types of discussions. Even the 2006 models didnt get super crazy hype like 701s, gs1000s etc. I also wonder why they dont have 1kish flagship model to showcase what they can do if money...
