CONGRATULATIONS! Before upgrade the source, how about the power? I just let my monster HTS 5100 go a couple days ago, and my system sounds dry and flat.

After seeing Carl's 4070, I can't stop thinking about it. I called my dealer to get a 001 (yes... a 001) to use at my office, but something went wrong Monday morning... Box I received today: The small brother, which not seen often here: 001 is REALLY SMALL.... (maybe I got used to...

Hi, I have a question for 4070 owners... I recently moved to a new apartment that have central AC, i.e., it generates huge noise during operation. My 404 can't help in this situtation. I am consider 4070, can the owner comments on how good the isolation is? Thx,

Do any jerker user know how to add wheel to it? I tried the moving rail from home depart, but doesn't work out well.

If all we need is 120v@60Hz, why not consider ac source? Elgar and CA lab are two big names in ac source. Personally, I think AVS 2000 and PS premier are overkill for headphone use. (headphone amp "usually" consume less than 300w, not 3,000w) == side story == Do anyone here know direct...

This is very interesting. I wonder how the tripp-lite compete with Monster AVS 2000. (ebay used for sub 500)

Got reply from my dealer. 727II system = 2900 (I guess he means 727+O2) driver only = 1519 At this price, I will consider KGSS.

RME FireFace series could be another good candidate for firewire sound card. (I love them because it work with Mac.) They have excellent driver support, and there is nothing to complain except the ugly GUI. If you only use iTunes to listen to music, you might consider airport express. It is a...

I had no problem with my 404. I consider buying a new amp to put in my office and bring my 404 with me whether going home or work. (it is too bad that I can't use 404 while I drive.) This thread remined me this. === I can't find review for the new 727 amp. I wonder how it compare to...

Just found it this morning, at 200 I don't think its a value investment. Hope we can see similar products with more friendly price at near future. (to use with PC-link per se) http://www.belkin.com/pressroom/rele...CFUSB_Hub.html

My friend, you are probabily confused with DAC and transport. DAC has digital in (usually optical/coxial maybe USB) and analog out (pair of RCA) You can think transport (in computer world) is a device that properly connect your computer to DAC. Back to our story... Airport Express...

Count me in! I will bring CityPulse 7.2x with TXCO upgrade.

I am wondering if the 323A have XLR input. If so, I might consider selling my 313 and get 323 instead.
