Tube DAC, be gentle first time
I own a Mytek and enjoy it, but I will echo the MHDT comments as well. It's a really musical piece of gear, and I've loved it every time I heard it. I would wait for one to come up here.

Well, this response is a little late, but you could use the new JRiver client available for OS X... 
Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved
I can add you know. You just prey on the poor S.O.B's who can't- for shame!I don't feel any shame in bringing numbers and analysis to the discussion, rather than more "common sense" oversimplifications. Einstein said that common sense was the coll...

Best beer
This is, unsurprisingly, not subjective. The best beer ever is Russian River Brewing's "Pliny the Elder". Many other truly fantastic beers have been mentioned, quite a few of which I've had the pleasure of drinking in the past year, either during ...

PettyOfficer, there is no such thing as format competition, nor is there any such thing as a format monopoly. The "CD monopoly" didn't edge out 8 track tapes, nor did the "DVD monopoly" edge out Laserdisc. 8 track and Laserdisc were simply inferio... 
Who has found happiness giving up on DACs?
Well, he gave one example: the M2Tech Hiface. 
Best Integrated Amp for Maggies MG12
Here are two more contenders: Classe Cap-201 and the Plinius 9100. Both seem pretty nice, and come highly recommended by Maggie fans

I'm in a similar boat here, so I'll bump this thread.My budget extends up to $1500, so I've been looking at the Krell KAV series, the Creek Destiny, the NAD C372, and the Unison Unico SE. I'd love for it to have an MM phono stage, but it's not req...
