Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass
I mentioned that the bass is great for vinyl....I used the same linestage amplfiier and speaker for both vinyl and digital so how can it be my system?there is a reason that chord hugo 2 and tt2 are often recommended with warm headphones........don... 
Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass
I am glad that the bass with the chord is strong in your system but you are the unicorn as most of the feedback I see online of chord tt2 and dave do not mention the strong powerful bass ....in fact the chord tt2 and chord dave seems to be praised...

I tried the chord qutest and the chord tt2 and the chord hugo 2 at different times in different systems and while they have an excellent midrange there bass has been on the softer side for my taste

LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these?
Hmm well better deal if used from Europe but sells here usa used recently  for $9500 and $12,000 if buy abroad and voltage issue and shipping cost more too....Comparing lamm monoblocks to an integrated gotta think lamm will make you smile at least... 
LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these?
The used lamm must be much cheaper than importing Ypsilon so try the lamm first imho and enjoy it and wait till ypsilon available in US if you not happy enuf with lamm.....dart is better imho but lamm lovely too why pay for new among these  choices 
LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these?
I lack any expertise but to my ears the lamm does not sound bright or harsh and their sin is a bit of darkness.....if you like ypsilon you will like dart (fremer likes both btw)......there is a dart integrated also avail which if you use phono has... 
LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these?
The dart is more neutral than the lamm but in no way bright. It’s transparent soulful right for all kinds of music. I would only hesitate on a used dartzeel if you have a large room and listen real loud level or crave subterranean bass wherein the...

lamm makes great amps.....quality control not great though had a problem with my 2.2 that had to go back twice because of failing part albeit customer service excellent.....I would say the 2.2 is better for rock music and 1.2 is better for singer ... 
recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp

Pass labs x260.8 versus xa160.8
well sure not important to speculate about number of xa160.8 listings but can anyone chime in as to why they sold there 160.8 and what they are enjoying nowadays.the xa160.8 cost a lot more than the 260.8 so my curiosity will not get me to buy it ... 
Pass labs x260.8 versus xa160.8
Yes maybe means nothing but seems that xa160.8 is not an amp keep for long-term [five or more years] and trying to figure out why  
recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp
while I believe that some interconnect cables provide more deep tighter bass than other I decided to simply adjust my room acoustics and speaker placement to get to where I wanted to go....problem solved........ 
recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp
thanks for the input...as much as I appreciate bluejeans cables my own experience with their toslink digital cable was that it decent but not as good as the lifatec toslink (sure its $25 versus $100 but the lifatec just immediately sounded better ... 
recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp
I should clarify that I mean fuller bass ...
