High output DAC?
A Theta DSPro Basic I has an output between 6 and 7 volts if I remember correctly. Not sure though if you they came balanced. 
Jungson JA-88C Budget Int Amp
I agree with the previously made comments about the 88C. Build quality is great along with the sound. As mentioned earlier I would watch out when using it with a bright source. It was definitely an energetic piece, but when it is coupled properly ... 
Eastsound E5
In terms of shipping, Cattylink took the extra step of almost triple boxing the unit (don't know if this is standard or if I lucked out). What I mean by this is that the CDP was double boxed and then some cardboard from other boxes was used to cre... 
Eastsound E5
Drac,I don't have any XLR cables so I haven't been able to try that out yet (I know Maxx has), but from what I have read on the net and heard from Maxx, the single ended outputs are superior. Hope that helps and thanks for reminding me about that ... 
Eastsound E5
Drac,You have confused ESound and Eastern Electric, the maker of the Minimax. Either way, I own an E5. I bought mine from Cattylink as well. Ufortunately, I cannot compare it to much as it was my first real venture into a digital front end. What I... 
New Foo Fighters Release Anyone?
IMO, disc one is enjoyable, just more of what the Foo Fighters do well. However, the thing that I was looking forward to the most was the acoustic recordings of disc 2. Unfortunately, it would not play on my CDP (ESound E5) due to the copy protect... 
Blu-Ray and HD DVD
Tony,How about I ask for dual HDMI outputs? Well I don't need to because the PS3 already has them. This goes along the lines of it being a living room appliance with potential multi-room capabilities. However, Sony took it a step further. At E3 th... 
Blu-Ray and HD DVD
Not sure how many people here are into gaming cosoles, but E3 (CES for the videogame industry) ended last week. A few things were anounced, such as news about the PS3. For those who did not know already know, all games for it are going to be based... 
Best bargain integrated amp?
Catt3,A Jungson JA-88C is another "minimalist" design. It only has three inputs and on the front there only is a volume knob and volume display. The unit compares favorably to integrateds in your price range and only costs $400. However, it looks ... 
Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition.
...and I thought I already was getting a lot for my money : ). 
Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition.
Comparing Andy's listing to the specs of the stock unit doesn't result necessarily in a difference of the brand of caps but rather an increase in total capacitance by 80,000 microfarads.-Dan 
Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition.
Hdm, this whole email/forum thing doesn't really allow sarcasm to be fully communicated as I knew that you were joking about the dynamics when we met, just couldn't convey it via email/posting.Maxx, I am still using the E5 (and loving it) but have... 
Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition.
That former owner to which Hdm refers is I. I am starting to think that the dynamic weakness I noticed was due more to the awful wiring/power of my house than the actual unit. I live in a hundred year old house that hasn't been updated electricall... 
Jungson JA88D anyone?
If you do a search over at AA, you will find some threads about the 88D. From reading those and emailing a few of the posters, I was convinced to try one. It should be arriving sometime next week. Spec wise the biggest discrepancies appear to be t...
