Re: Is someone still using compact discs
I own two CDTs and a seldom used Oppo 103. In the past couple years, I've bought anywhere from 3 to 15 CDs at a time, and 25 to 40 per year. That's not a huge number, but I also stream a lot as well.

Re: Best DACs under $5K (2019 Version)

Re: What is the hot new DAC now?
CPP,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the $5800 price for the Terminator is in Singapore Dollars.
I hope to have one in my system in approximately 6 weeks.
