Does the Chord TT2 Dac need a linear supply device?
Did you ever end up adding an LPS? Got the TT2 and looking at all the offerings from Farad, Teddy Pardo, and Sbooster.  
Denafrips Ares Price Jump
Has anyone compared the Denfrips with any of the Chord DACs? Namely the Hugo TT2?  
Hugo TT2 or LTAMZ3/Border Patrol DAC combo
yeah I tried to grab that one but to be honest I can get a new one for not much more and quite honestly that dealer wasn’t easy to deal with when it came to paying them. Got some song and dance about getting burned by being paid with a CC by some ... 
Shout-out to Verdant Audio, Scott Bierfeldt
I agree...Scott is incredibly knowledgable, patient and response time is fantastic. I will absolutely be getting more from him the future.  
Hugo TT2 or LTAMZ3/Border Patrol DAC combo
Thanks, I tend to agree...I think I am just afraid of the idea of leaving tubes behind. I suppose I could always add a BP later and use the TT2 as a Pre if I were missing them. Where this is near field/desk top I really like the detail being commu... 
LTA micro zotl preamp
Good to hear...I just ordered the MZ3 as well for use in a desk top system on a pair of active Dynaudios, impatiently waiting for it to be built. Pairing it with the BP dac as well..LTA is a great company, love what they are doing with this tech. ... 
MHDT or Border Patrol
Just got the Border Patrol Se-i and it's a wonderful. Exhibiting all the characteristics described here in this thread for the MHDT and you shut the tube on or off to your liking. Built in the US (not Taiwan) and the support from Gary is fantastic...

Thank you Captain Obvious...Did you just drop in to troll or are you here to help offer some insight, experiences or opinions on the devices? $700 cheaper than what btw?  
Need Help- Bel Canto 2.7 or Chord Hugo 2 for Desktop setup
I didn't say I liked it enough to decide. If you read what I said above I mentioned it sounded a little forward. I need to listen to it in my own system.

are you running the 2.7 as well?  
Need Help- Bel Canto 2.7 or Chord Hugo 2 for Desktop setup
Thank you for the reply...I am listening to the BC as I type this, came today and I am about 30 minutes in. Neither the speakers or DAC are even close to burned in, so I am reserving overall judgement. With that said, first impressions of the BC, ... 
Harbeth P3Es2 or Spendor S3/5
thanks guys....I will look into the brands mentioned here, although I gotta tell you the Spendors are on my short list at this point after all the positive press I have read. I would be matching these with a VTL IT-85, which is use the lovely EL-3... 
Harbeth P3Es2 or Spendor S3/5
Interesting, thanks for the feedback gentlemen. I like SE version of the spendor with the Scanspeak tweeter. A little more dynamism supposedly, which is nice to have in the mix. They aren't necessarily cheap speakers for a second system, but I hea... 
would usb sound better than a sound card
I have a Cosecant, so it should be able to reveal the difference. You're on a Crimson right? Anyway, thanks for the information!
