Austin, Tx Hillcountry Audio Club
Hey folks!
Well, the last meetup was tons of fun. The food was tasty, the conversation was excellent, and the music was awesome! Though a small cabling oversight prevented us from having the DAC shootout, we were able to hook up ARC DAC, and MAN was it fantastic! Associated gear: Either my unmodified Squeezebox streaming flac passed the digital stream over FO, or Lee's server streamed wav over USB, Both went into Lee's ARC DAC8 (I believe it was the DAC8...someone correct me if I'm wrong), this fed into my Yamaha C-80 preamp over Canare shielded homebrews, which in turn fed into my TAD Hibachi-II monoblocks (also using shielded canare homebrews), and finally into my Infinity Quantum 2's over 12ga monster wire.
