How good is an Oppo BDP-83 as a transport? To be used with Denafrips Ares DAC
Machina Dynamica's New Dark Matter worked wonders in my Oppo 105.Definitely worth the small amount of money it costs 
Directional cables - what does that really mean?
As I understand it, wire is pulled through a specific size thingy (can't think f the name) the outer diameter tends to fold back creating measurable resistance necessitating a direction of least resistance to be determined   
Which new amp to get?
I have a EVS 1200 on order, should ship soon. Dual mono 600wpc newest IceEdge class D a mere $2200, though I expect that to jump soonoh 30 day money back including return shipping How can you lose?

I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
after reading George's reply to whomever wrote about GaN switching speeds:"This is so correct, but so far it seems that only one has utilized this ability to take the higher switching speed up to 1.5mHz available with GaN (2.5 x higher than presen... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
This morning it occurred to me to experiment with where my amp is plugged in. I know Ive read about this long ago and probably plugged my amp/s direct, but...Until this morning I had my Audio Alchemy DPA-1 (and several class Ds before it)  plugged...

very true curiousOne of the things I hear in some DVD-As or SACDs sounds like congestion, which COULD be because of their much higher frequency range and my 175wpc class D simply runs out of gas in my large room.I ordered a EVS 1200 amp (class D, ...

I'm sure my new Moon 780D can reveal more than what my DH Labs AES/EBU delivers it.
I used to use DHL top of the line interconnects to my then Rogue M150s,  but eventually when I changed out I realized the DHL were thin sounding  I highly recommend WireWorldtheir series 7 is excellent and their series 8 a cut aboveyou might consi...
