Clio09 - I'll be using a Ridge Steet Audio Poiema!! Digital Master. Vlad is going to put a BNC on for me instead of the RCA. For a powercord, I have a couple of choices: Signal Cable HC Digital, TG Audio SLVR or a VH Audio Flavor 4.
Transports I'll try out will be a Levinson No.37 and a McCormack Digital Drive
SST-1. Should be interesting...
What transports are Audio Mirror owners using to feed their D1 DAC? Would a quality transport be requisite for a DAC such as this (or the other non-os DACs)?
Well, I've taken the plunge on the Sig. D1 DAC. The only players / DACs I have heard are upsamplers and it piques my interest to try out a non-os DAC. Should I let it burn-in for a length of time or is it listenable out of the box?
Also going to give Vlad's T-61 preamp a whirl too.
Clio,

I've had the Flavor 4 for a while now on other players and transports, it is not being returned :>)
I use Ridge Street for my ICs and speaker cable so when the time came for a digital cable, I went with them. I like 'em, they work well in my system and Robert is a true gentleman and craftsman. Same said for Chris @ VH Audio.
Thanks for the info...
My 1st week with the D1 Signature DAC and I am very pleased.
It is a wonderful component, especially for the $$$.
Vlad's T-61 tube pre is also very nice, had that about 2 weeks now.
