nice. interested to hear about your mods. I want to work on my 700 after giving it a few weeks of stock listening time.
My preference is a solid piece of equipment with a silver-colored metal case, lots of inputs, a low noise floor, no audible distortion or signal drop outs, treble that doesn't cut holes in my ears, no wall-wart power supply, a dedicated 3rd-pin ground, and less than $1000. To me, those options are just as important as the sound.
Guys, please take the DBT discussion to Sound Science, rather than polluting this thread with it.
However valid the reason for double-blind testing is it has nothing to do with this thread which is titled "thoughts on a bunch of DACs" and not "a definitive study on listener preference as it relates to music and DACs" or whatever.
Now... back to DACs. Please?

That's the problem that bothers me. My ears know what I like, just as your ears know what you like. We all have preferences.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I'm assuming one pair into each pin and one pair to connector ground? Or do I leave off the last pair? And should I do the same for balanced interconnects between DAC and Amp?
And that second paragraph made me LOL. Thanks for such an illustrative example.
I like CAT 5 (TPs paralleled up) for speaker cables.
Do you double them up? How many cables per speaker?
A few years ago there was a brief trend in desktop gear that used regular RJ45 connections between amps and speakers (mostly Taiwanese I think). I kinda miss that as it was quite convenient and far slimmer than binding posts or speakon jacks.
So Yggy will be available less than a week from now... So says Mike on the other thread.
