Meier Audio StageDAC
I ordered my StageDAC a few days ago... W O O O H O O O O ! ! ! ! If YOU were a basshead with little ability to tolerate sibilance, and if YOU were looking for the warmest, richest sound but not at the expense of high-end detail (I know, it's a push-me-pull-you kind of scenario), what...- chzplz
