Hi SC53. I never heard of Electrocompaniet before. Did you audition it

Hi Duke, in your quest for a "warmer" external DAC try to find a used
Electrocompaniet ECD-1. I found one for $1100 on Audiogon and use it
with my Squeezebox and previously owned Olive music server. I like it
better than the Benchmark DAC I also have for its (to me) more lush,
warmer sound with di
Hi Dave. Thanks for your input. I have similar experiences with my
setup. About 20% of my CDs sound like the music was made for my system.
About 70% sound pretty good. About 10%, especially the some older,
remastered CDs, sound terrible. I have just recently been getting
serious about this hobby (
Hi Anne. The Apollo uses a Wolfson WM8740 sigma-delta converter.

Hi Dave. Have you compared the Krell to the MC402 yet? When I bought my
amp the KAV-2250 was on my short list. I chose the Classe CA-2100
because I thought it had a smoother sound with my Thiel speakers. I
never got to listen to a McIntosh.

Which brings up another question
Do all the Squeezebox compatible
websites have about the same quality as Rhapsodys 128 Kb/sec? If not,

Hi ModelCitizen. Thanks. I would like to try a Transporter, but I dont
see how I can borrow one for a couple of days. I really dont want to
buy one and return it just to try it out. The audio store didnt have
any other DACs that were in my price range. The Mark Levinson was on

great piece of gear. I have been using its analog output connected to
my preamp, and I noticed it didnt sound quite as good as my CD player,
so I began investigating the possibility of using an external DAC. My
