| Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's? Denafrips Ares 12th. | |
| DAC upgrade +1+++ for Denafrips Pontus II 12th. If you also want to consider the USB solution, you can add the Denafrips Iris DDC 12th, which made things appreciably better through the I2S connection. | |
| Happy Holidays and Your Favorite Tips? mapman +1. Room acoustics. I recently implemented a DDC to my digital chain with amazing results. Preferably utilizing a I2S input to the DAC. | |
| magnepan Check the Music Room as they are a factory authorized dealer for Magnepan. | |
| SVS or REVEL Subwoofer I think that size room is going to be too small for two subs. I agree, get one high quality sub. | |

| Costliest Brainfart I would say think of these unfortunate mishaps as educational. Education always comes at a cost. | |
| Should I Sell My ARC REF 6 and Get A Pass Labs XP-32 See the XP-32 on Audiogon for $10,500. Good luck! | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k +2 for the Pontus 2 12th. BTW, if you installed the lastest firmware, you are at the 12th level. Great detail and smoothness especially with OS and smooth filter. Adding the Iris DDC added even more detail for a USB streamer. | |
| Digital music questions Another vote for the BlueSound Node and Denafrips Pontus II 12th. When I added the Denafrips Iris DDC, the sound opened up in a unexpected way and it's amazing what this DDC has done in cleaning up the signal with the blackest background. | |
| BEST CD TRANSPORT The Audiolab 9000CDT is a very surprising transport with an amazing ability to seperate instruments providing a great soundstage. | |
| A Serious Subwoofer He is also storing home-made wine. |
