| Thiel Owners I have a pair if Thiel 2.2. Paired with McCormack DNA 1.0. Oppo 105D Tidal streaming. The SQ is excellent. | |
| Using Solar battery for DAC and Pre-amp I bought a solar battery pack with inverter. 12V to 110V pure sine wave. The batter is Li battery which is very light and provide very constant DC voltage. | |
