Esoteric D70 direct to amp?
I do this and I prefer the volume control to that of Wadia. BTW IMHO in this regard less is more, unless you have a SOTA preamp.FYI the rest of my system where I use the D70 is as follows:Accuphase DP80 transportHarmonic Technology Photon digital ... 
EMM LABS CDSD/DCC2 Tweaks
Neil,In my opinion, the first thing one needs to do after buying the EMM Labs combo is to find a great power cord and conditioner. The stock Kimbers are better than a regular PC cord but simply not good enough.I had fantastic results with PS Audio... 
Ear Master One by Accoustic Reality

A big thanks to Thiel
I can only say the same guys. Recently my daughter pushed the dust covers of my CS6 speakers very badly. I called Shari on Friday and on Tuesday I received the new covers by FedEx. On Wednesday the covers were changed and on Thursday I listened to... 
Cables for Thiel CS6
Marco,Thiel speakers are very power hungry. The sensitivity is given as 86 dB but for 2.83V/1m, (2,83 is the square root of 8, normally manufacturers use this if the speaker's impedance is 8 Ohms.). Because of the fact that the CS6 has a 4 Ohm imp...
