Listening to Patricia Barbers Cafe Blue thru this rig allows me to here the acoustical space like never before. Punch and dynamic scale is obviously enhanced to the point that I can't imagine this...

Spec was Pioneers hi-end division. But I don't know if the two are related currently.

I puchased a hifi linear power supply for my dac, and it is burning in nicely. Listening the The Beatles Abby Road cd thru my Philips Little Giant as powered by this PS gives me a very clear insight...

These are pressings sourced from digital, unlike my full spectrum, frequency modulated optical analog disc format.

I have heard a lot of good things about it.

A simple DAC under $1000 would be preferable. HiRes handling while nice isn't mandatory. I was thinking about a non-oversampling model even.

Unfortunately, my computer and cellphone are digital. Can't live without either one.

Accuphase amps, Micro Seiki and Harman Kardon sources, Acoustat speakers.

I am however looking for the right dac on the cheap for my computer to replace my highly tweeked ASUS sound card.

Well Mike, we can agree or disagree concerning which brands and models we like the best. My biggest complaint with digital besides fatigue factor is that it doesn't sound as real and palpable as even...

I have heard nearly every brand available at one time or another. Accuphase, CH Precision and Zanden are probably my top pics in their price classes.

I am done with digital. After having suffered thru every digital format available over the years, and never liking the sound of any of it, I am putting all my time, money and effort into my analog...
