| Seeking advice on how to improve my system In relation to the quality of your system, 10 foot run of Kimber PBJ and the 8TC speaker cables seem like the weak point to me. I would definitively explore and play with alternatives. Check out threads on Anti-cables, Morrow Audio Cables.. to nam... | |
| Does Hardware Matter? You don't even need another computer for streaming online radio stations- Logitech Squeezebox Touch will do the trick for less money- and much better sound. | |
| A Good Match? No, you gotta do better than that. | |
| MF X-DAC yes, you can. But you may need an USB to Coax converter, such as the MF V-Link to hook it up. | |

| popping noise when turning on amp/preamp Perhaps shielded vs. unshielded interconnects! Try to route your more expensive (culprit) differently and away from power cables... and see if the buzz goes away.... or stick with the cheapo ones if you hear no difference in sound.... | |
| Budget DAC I second Swampwalker's recommendation. I'm blown away by the performance of the basic non + unit in my office system.I would also check out CEntrance dacport, which is a similar product. | |
| step up transformer on cd player I recommend Philmore voltage converter if you can find one; I have had good experience with them both here and overseas.A 100 watt one should be less than $30 | |
| Best integrated for $500? With the Titus 202 in a small room you have a lot of options, as you don't need much power. I have the same Titus model in my office powered by Boulder Cable modified TEAC tripath amp (30wx2), which is more than enough. Interestingly, I also had t... | |
| W4S ST-1000, How Loud Should It Play? Hearing.... ?Seriously though, a good preamp could change your game, and provide more gain, resulting in more loudness (and music too) | |
| Need a DAC recommendation I think you have a great combo with the rainmakers and the C375BEE to start with!A lot is going to depend on the quality of the digital out of your soundcard- i.e., what route to take. The V-DAC appears to be one of those rare over achievers at it... |
