John, although our systems are Very similar they're not identical. What can I say? ... I guess Earl enjoys coming over to listen to music as much as I enjoy having him.
The differences in our rooms have the biggest impact on the sound of his system vs. mine. I'm only running a digital front-end. The EMM's DAC2/TDS1 performance is quite considerable over Earl's EMM single-box. I'm also using a Finite Elemente Reference rack which is an improvement over the Zoethecus he is using at this time.
Back to the Valhalla P.C.s. I STRONGLY recommend to others that you try these in your system. I would not have thought a P.C. could have this kind of an impact a system's sound. Can only imagine how good the Odin must be!
enjoy,
Tom
