Outboard Dac's...Do they make a big difference?

I know that with some effort that I could rehab the Lambda. It's a little frustrating that PS is about 30-miles away, but they have no interest in some fairly simple repairs. The parts are the issue, as you indicate.

Anyway, I already did the bank withdrawal for the replacement. ;-)

I will try to get info where to get a wheel, and I will ask what improvement was made to the transport. I know there was a diode change. The Lambda is a dark sounding transport. The diode opens up all the highs...... Quite uncanny stuff!

Dcstep - I took a look at your pics... Great digital front end, but you've got to build a room, and get some real speakers, man :-)

Goatwuss, thanks for looking. ;-)

I DO want to build a large room, but the economy put those plans on hold (my income dropped 60% over 2008). Still, I have great sound, with lots of dynamics, good bass, great imaging and very nice upper mids, but all on a smaller scale than I optimally desire.

I DO get to hear lots of larger systems and I'm comfortable that I'm not missing a ton, particularly of those things most important to me (dynamics and accurate midrange). I'll get all the way there one day...

Just busting ya man. I'll bet those VAs sound pretty decent as is
