I would look for seperates (transport + DAC) instead of the Yamaha. Only because the DAC technology is evolving & improving. You can pick up a Cambridge transport pretty cheap which will give you the funds to buy a new or newer DAC. I've used the cambridge with a new (as of a couple years ago) Audio Alchemy DAC & it was very good.
Since my sabbatical
For family reasons - I have been away from audiophile interests for over 15 years. I now have the ability to again restart.
My last real reference for published reviews / opinions that my hands on experiences matched was The Audio Critic (a long time ago). I have a stack of previously SOTA components that need professional restoration as well.
My current attempts at re-entry into reading Audiophile-ism related pubs has left me flabbergasted and confused.
Am I in the right Forum to start a dialog on connecting my real world experiences with the market pubs / beliefs / etc. now?
Questions abound!
