grateful dead remasters

kevins
get a great 16/44 dac. don't worry bout SACD or hirez, as most of your dead will always be 16/44 (bootleg CDs). also, get a transport w/ 2 digital outs and a standalone burner (as opposed to a PC based cd burner). i've burned a few thousand discs on my rig, and w/ a good 16/44 setup, they all sound great.
otherwise, get speakers that sound great on jazz. you don't need legacy-esque 4*15" per side to make the dead sing...but you do need clarity and speed.

ryno, can you name a few good dac`s

depends on what you want to spend. i've heard (or heard of) great things from entec 1.1 or higher (not entech, 2 diff brands!), audio aero, ayre cx-7 (cd player, but could be world class w/ a few parts). of course some of the higher up wadias and MLs are nice too. and wavelength too.
