| Is Audio nirvana real? Nirvana is very real. I'm selling entry level Nirvana for $5,250. Based on satisfaction derived from our flagship "Total Nirvana", for $55,000, you get most of the happiness and joy most people need for 1/10th the cost. There's also "Glimps of Ni... | |

| Looking for upgrade from Apple TV, would like to keep using iTunes and wifi By the way, I've never heard of a DAC that couldn't do 44.1. I think you need to find your original docs. :) Best,Erik | |
