Why is silk more costly than sack cloth? There is less of it by weight (per yard); it isn't as warm if made into clothing; and if you hold it up to the light, it's almost not even there! Yes silk is a very fine thing -they keyword here is "fine". You are paying for its fine-ness. The point of my babble is if the rest of your system isn't equal in finesse -you won't hear a difference! That is the vice of this hobby. After all, how much do you love music? 'Cuz in the end, that's all your equipment is supposed to do -play music. So how many times can your system "split a hair"?
Bad luck W/ Musical Fidelity DAC
I purchased the new A3 24 DAC last week. For the first few days it was working great, yesterday the volumn level took a nose dive and the sound was fading in and out. I replaced all the cables and the power cord, but no change. When I remove the right rca plug, the left speaker played normal, and when I remove the left rca plug, the right speaker played normal. What is wrong w/ this unit? To MF's credit, there are going to replace it but my wait will be at least 3 weeks.
