Hi

Talking about the sound strictly, there's no reason to go lossy these

As i stated it is my personal feeling that comes from personal

The ditherin we use for our final master is Apogees "UV22HR". There is

It will match your amp very well and it sounds much better than older
BP25 or Bryston 1.7 processor(despite of Bryston claims that it is the
same circuit).
My BP26 replaced Simaudio P-5, Ayre K-1, Pass X-1 and plethora of other
preamps including Magnetic Passive.

Eric, I know that Belles builds an outstanding amplifier! I do not know
as much about their pre's but I believe they are very very good as
well. The 28a is a reference pre and should have everything you are
looking for. I believe they go for $2500-$2800 on Agon.
http://www.powermodules.com/28a.ht
The analog output of the DEQ is pro level +4dBu (and +14 if needed)
which is too high for most audiophile preamps. You either have to get
10dB attenuators or a 4:1 isolation transformer (look at Jensen ISOMAX
series).

An idea in another direction. Since your budget is tight you may
consider looking at used studio amps. Most studios these days have

I'm sure you'll the vast majority of users here stick to lossless
formats, esp. FLAC, whenever possible. Why discard musical information
when you don't have to?
It's a different matter for portable devices etc where file size is
important . . .

First the Transport is great.
I would like to see another version of the Transport with no features.
Just a black box with digital outputs that just feed the raw PCM data
