| Borderpatrol Dac SE The T+A DAC 8 DSD I have now makes the BP sound just like it measures: broken. Especially when you let Roon convert everything to DSD to feed it. | |
| Higher End DACs Ok BOomer. | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? Class D stands for drier than a desert. | |
| The Music Room - Boulder Colorado TMR is great, A+ experience for me in the ast. | |
| What is wrong with audiophiles? Sounds like a cool party. We normally just swap wives at my parties and I can’t ever get anyone to do a cable test. | |
| My expert tips on building a sensible world class audio system. A home theater setup??? Gross dude. Go to AVS Forum. | |

| The best speaker for a small room...at any price point. Sonus Faber Guarneri in a vintage of your choosing. | |
| Buy a $40,000 used DAC for $4,000 or a new one for the same amount? I’d take a T+A DAC8 DSD over the old DAC no question. The majority of that $40k you paid for back then was R&D that’s been surpassed. | |
