logitech transporter: cat 6 cable copper or fibre
Yeah, wireless is pretty mich a no go by my standards. What is the rest of your network? Have a NAS linked to it? I actually upgraded to all cat6 patch cables and quad shield coax from the wall outlet to my modem. The cat6 cables just handle allth... 
What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ?
LOL!!! No no. I wasn't trying to offend anyone or say you can't or that it's wrong. Forgive me for loving my two channels of joy. I just feel that adding a sub approaches the more is less philosophy. And I'm even taking cues from professionally in... 
What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ?
I agree with those who are opposed to the addition. IMO, if you are really a two-channel fan then you'll leave the ".1" out of it. Now home theatre? You better have one or at least capable speakers. Otherwise, unnecessary.On another note, I have t... 
What are we really trying to replicate?
Oakleys, that was an absolute pleasure to read... especially the haircuts part. lol!My response is a little simpler though. Unless you were at the recording studio listening to it being recorded live, how can you possibly know whatbits really supp... 
Who has found happiness giving up on DACs?
Right now, just after purchasing a Cary Xciter DAC and putting it into my system I did an A/B/C on the SAME song ripped the same way that was stored on my NAS and on my computer and then I dropped the disc into my PS3 and started them all at rough...

Cary won. Its in. Playing now. I love it. Thanks again for all the responses! 
Newbie to DAC's
Nice thing about the Peachtree is the DAC is built in and you get 80wpc if you go with the Nova, 50wpc with the Decco but less inputs. Both are nice and with a Sonos ZP-90 linked by ethernet to your hard drives, you can access all your music and/o... 
Acoustic/Classical guitar. Who is your favorite?
Chazro,Lol! Yeah, well, it doesn't really matter as long as it is acoustic. Just an easy thread starter. Sorry if it is mis-leading in any way. Should have just written... "Favorite Acoustic Guitarist" instead. Next time. ;-) Thanks for the inputs... 
Acoustic/Classical guitar. Who is your favorite?
Nice picks so far everyone. Thanks for posting. Kenl... I have a Sonos player and I have Tommy Emanuelle in the title of the station so it just randomly picks things similar to it. I rarely ever have to skip a track. 
W4S DAC1 / Stello DA100 / Cary Exciter DAC.
Srama, thanks for the post. One consideration i continually forget is the headphone amp which is definitely something I want... decided that last night. I think I might save my dimes for another month and get the 2.5 like you did. For another $600... 
Cardas Cross vs. Kimber Silver Streak
I agree with the verdict about Cross. I personally use Crosslinks at this time but I did audition the Cross cables on my rig and they both have a similar non-detailed sound. I was expecting a lot more as per the website info and everytime I put in... 
W4S DAC1 / Stello DA100 / Cary Exciter DAC.
Very nice. Good luck with that one. Feel free to let me know what your first impressions are of it. I'm about 3 weeks out from picking up a dac so I'm going to keep at this until I finally cave. 
W4S DAC1 / Stello DA100 / Cary Exciter DAC.
Kgturner... Whenever I see what I consider to be the band-wagon approach to products I tend to steer clear. I've never heard this one so I really don't have an opinion to its qualities. Srama... Thank you for your input. The only Bel Cantos I thou... 
Digital out... does source matter?
Well, since I have the Sonos already it was pretty much a given that I'd get it modded since everyone has been saying its an awesome upgrade. That's also not a whole lot of cash either. But the second I approach the $1k mark I get a bit cautious. ... 
Strings Dilemma
Well, whtever you want to call it. The action is a pretty broad statement. Anything that affects playability. I have four different bridges that are cut for different styles of music. I typically change out a bridge every month to play something e...
