| DAC Recommendation around 2.5K Lynx Hilo can be had for $1850. A used PWD II can be had for $2.2k, A-gd Master is also a fine DAC. | |

| Do power cords make a difference? I was given one to use in my system and I did not expect to hear any differences and was going to send it back after hearing it. Well, 7 years later, I still have it in my system. It feeds an isolation transformer for my headphone rig. It does imp... | |
| The title is:"There's No Such Thing As Digital..." The science mafia over at Head Fi had a field day with this. They love to shred any idea that claims subjective imprvement. This article smacks of USB cable wankery in their opinion. I offered it as some explanation as to why a cable could make a ... | |
| Goodbye CD's Considering the music offered today, I can see why. | |
| best DAC' choice between $1K-$2K? Got the Hilo, very nice and pricing is $1850/usb and $1725/non usb. Killer sound, very good soundstage and 3D. So far better IMO than the Anedio D2 and NAD 51. | |
| upgradeable dacs Lynx Hilo is one with some nice flexibility and upgradeable firmware. If you are running an expensive analogue front end, this unit will integrate it into a digital system below $2k. | |
| What to expect from a new DAC? I just retired my CAL Sigma II. It doesn't do what these new ones do. The Alpha is a better unit though and I'd be hard pressed to suggest better for several times it's cost. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I found it as soon as I stopped looking for something wrong with digital. A new reference DAC has helped. | |
| Now That You've Ripped Your Entire Collection... My brother and two other hobbyists has a full copy of all drives, all my CDs are in storage bins. I don't sell my music, just listen. | |
| Using the PerfectWave DAC MK II We will be having a shootout in a couple weeks with the PWDII, M51, Buffalo III, D2 (Anedio) and a Hilo. Will get back when done. I will say that as of right now, the PWDII is the finest sounding DAC in the under $2.5k budget(used of course). I'm ... | |

| best DAC' choice between $1K-$2K? I'm looking at a Lynx Hilo. A few Anedio D2 owners are moving them on for this unit. Hope to hear along with a Buffalo 3, PerfectWave II, NAD M51, Anedio D2 and anything else we can pack in. | |
| $1-1.5K DAC for BAT Amp/Preamp System? I'm in a similar spot but looking 1.5 - 2k. I was considering an Anedio D2 or a AN 3.1 sig on here. | |
| Laserdiscs- how do they sound with outboard DACs I used a CAL Sigma II out of a Panasonic LP for years and never saw a reason to have both CD and LD. I think they sound as good as CD. Some would say better. The DAC on the Panasonic sounded like typical mid fi gear. The DAC brought some tube rich... |
