Digital amplifier fans, NAD C298 Purifi Eigentakt
Sir, About 6 months ago, I auditioned the C298 in place of my tube/solid state hybrid amp and was amazed, to say the least.  Then, after trying it out and straining to not "jump the gun" and just buy it, I read both Robert Harley's and Kalman Rub... 
PS Direct Stream latest firmware, "Snowmass"
I own one since product’s inception & have no financial interest in PSA.  That said, I can’t remember how many FPGA upgrades with dramatic quality enhancements I have received....for free. In my system, to my ears, this one (Snowmass)  is a tr... 
warm digital cable

Cables for Conrad Johnson and Proac D25 system
Alextychkin,I have had great success with Kimber KS-1030 interconnects and Kimber Bifocal speaker wire between a PS Audio Digital Link III, Conrad Johnson preamp, McCormack DNA-1 and Proac Response 2.5's. I certainly agree with Beerdrafts and Jaff...
