    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)

    Well, that's what makes a market, isn't it? Everyone has his or her own preferences, likes, and dislikes. Any one DAC isn't for everyone, for sure. If I were a DSD enthusiast, I wouldn't be...

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

    I'd like to offer up the SW1X DAC III STD for consideration. The USD price will fluctuate since the price is listed in Pounds, but it's a tad under $4800 USD. The Pounds Sterling price is 3666.67. I...

    I have not heard it yet. I’m hoping to audition it in the next two months if I can persuade Jason to loan me a demo unit. Even though I stated my preference is for NOS DACs, I know better than to...

    Hi, Devg.

    This isn't a direct answer to your question because I do not own a Terminator. However, in the last year and a half I have learned a lot about my preferences. Whereas I initially thought...

    I was trying to be helpful. Thank you ever so much for your eloquent head butt.

    Steve,

    I don't know if you'll find this helpful, but here goes.

    I'm hoping to compare my Mivera 1200as SE amp to one of Colin's NCore500 One up amps later this Summer or Fall. My 1200as is the one that AC member, Gregfisk, is babysitting (which you may have read...

    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.
