Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components?
taters, would you mind commenting on what you think would be similar? 
In a lot of these threads people say without the room being treated
I read a post here lately where the poster provided some great advice. Put pillows in the corners and hang blankets on the walls at the first reflection point as a test. Then go from there. No real cost in doing this and then see what happens. Exp... 
Glad we still have 'brick and mortar', and good owners for gear
I have heard a system that was similar. It was the D'Agostino mono blocks and preamp with a Bricasti M1 DAC (about 1/3 the cost of the DSC) and the Sabrina's. I was very impressed to say the least. I've never heard the DCS stuff so can't comment. ...

Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
I meant the Bricasti M1 DAC with the Wilson/D'Agostino combo I talked about above.Also, just heard the new Sabrina's with the new 150WPC tube AR integrated and I think it had the Bricasti DAC as well. Could easily live with that pairing too. Heard...
