| audio mirror dac No familiarity with the RAM mods, but mine was just modded by TRL and I just put it throught the 500 hour burn-in. Details to follow in another thread. Cost is $550 and the DAC is now in a completely different league. | |
| Need MC Step-Up Transformer advice? I use a Benz M2 (0.8mV) and have found the K&K step-up that uses Lundahl transformers to be a good match. These come in kit form but for a nominal fee Kevin Carter will build them for you. You can also have the output cables hardwired (I chose... | |
