perhaps my money might be better spent in upgrading my turntable then lol

It's all relative, depends on the table.  A cheaper upgrade would be getting a new cartridge or stylus.
 
Granted, if you're serious in upgrading your table, we can talk, haha.

The dac landscape is changing quite a bit these days, mostly in the area of usb implementation. Coax/spdif input technology has been quite stable for a long time now, and have been buggered with in the "audiophile" realm far longer than usb. They also don't transmit any power issues, unlike usb interfaces which can push through a lot of noise.
 
The usb stuff is more consumer friendly in general, but the spdif stuff is more stable.

That ain't too bad, you can find yourself a better P-Mount cartridge.  But, PM me later if you're really looking to buy.

That is true, USB implementation is the big thing right now with DACs. I still look for soundcards with coax.spdif output just for that reason.

Assuming the snow ever melts, we should plan the next meet and make it a bbq!

 

[lwc726]

hope to attend the next meet 

 

[Armaegis]

That'd be cool. Haven't seen you come out to one in a while. 

 

[mythless]

The snow will never melt!  It's snowing once more!

 

[Armaegis]

It's kind of ridiculous isn't it?

 

[DigitalFreak]

I'm about ready to throw caution to the wind and move to Mexico. No snow there. It's going to be a mediocre summer.

 

[Armaegis]

Well...  a slow spring at least means a slow melt which should temper the flood predictions. 

 

[dscythe]

i second the bbq meet! Crank it enough and no amount of snow can keep us from delicious burgers!

 

[DigitalFreak]

Mmmmmmmmmm buurrgerrsssss

 

[Armaegis]

When do we want to aim for? Is May long weekend too soon? (like Sunday May 19th or something)

 

[acidbasement]

I might possibly be able to make it.  Or, if everyone wanted to drive 2.5 hours west to Riding Mountain National Park, I could host.  

 
By the way, nice job landing a front page review again, Nathan.
