Logitech Squeezebox vs. Sonos
If you've iPad then I'd strongly recommend using either iPeng or SqueezePad (to name 2) as the Squeezebox system remote. It is distinctly superior to using the Duet. 
Dac recommendations for computer audio
A used dCS Delius - ~$2k without FireWire - can be fed direct by either toslink, rca, Aes, or Bnc This affords some freedom to experiment with interfaces, giving the option to go direct or through a converter. Personally have strong experiences wi...

Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?
Rainer - appreciate the update on the Trinity, but alas no indication of whether they will/may/do come Stateside....At somewhere between $40 and $68k - best pricing indications I've found online for the Trinity - they should be defining the pinnac...

Rainer - Does GTE have distributorship in the US?Also you are presuming the Scarlatti as the standard...Can you place the Esoteric D1 vs the GTE? 
Wadia 381 vs. dcs Puccini vs. EmmLabs CDSA SE
"we all agree"...i love grand generalizations...Suffice I don't think vinyl sounds better than all digital today.Take a 24/192 Reference Recording played back through a State of the Art design digital front end (MPS-5, D3, Scarlatti DAC) against a...

Perrew - Tak for det. Min dansk er bestemt rustne, saa vil skift to engelsk...My ambition is to control the variables such that I can isolate the DAC in question. We shall see whether such is feasible - as already noted, securing each DAC for home...

Pure - curious, how could you isolate the Scarlatti form the rest of the system and room? 
Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?
Classic - excellent idea. Had begun to consider something similar basis this post: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/Room-Correction-without-downsidebut will look into the XTZ as well. Much appreciate the pointer/headsup 
Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?
RTN1 - Appreciate the line of reasoning from a fellow Avalon owner. Only real concern I've got with the TIME is whether they will be too much speaker for my smallish listening room (13 x 13 x 9)....but increasingly leaning in this direction. 
Any better DAC then dCS Scarlatti?
Classicjazz - I am using Spectral monoblocks (DMA360v2) and preamp (DMC30SS); they should be able to step up to the challenge of driving the TIME. Appreciate your perspectives on the DAC choices - intriguing to see the state of the art approached ...
