It sounded a bit off, so I just replaced it with a new driver.  
How much to spend to improve Linn Klimax
I am going to copy and paste my Bricasti impression here from over 3 years go. I know alot have changed for Bricasti, including several firmware updates to add more filter options and other power-related enhancement. Given the foregoing, my impres... 
How much to spend to improve Linn Klimax
Kimax Renew was in the same price range as Bricasti, so I'm not sure where the over priced / over rated comments came from. I am not ready to pay the full retail price for a new a new Klimax, hence the question. Nothing has been decided as far as ... 
How much to spend to improve Linn Klimax
This is getting nowhere. I have heard most big name Dacs when I was shopping a few years back. I guess other than the latest Kimax DS there really isn't anything close.

Yes, and that would be a downgrade from Linn. 
Logitech Transporter + Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC 2
That's encouraging news. I have compared BADA2 using CDP as transport in one system and TP w/ Min-phase filter in another system, and I couldn't bring myself to buy the BADA2, as I didn't now whether the min-phase filter effect is additive/subtrac...

Logitech Transporter + Berkeley Audio Alpha DAC 2
Transporter + minimum phase filter + latest version of sox (the one included with SBS is not the latest version) is close to Alpha DAC1. Perhaps not a bad idea to try the free "upgrade" first. Anyone with similar experience? 
is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp?
Just want to say Linn Klimax has curred my upgratitus. I have been completely satisfied with my system, coming up to 1yr mark now. I feel no desire to upgrade (except for a bigger room and bigger speaker). I think I would have been just as happy w... 
Ayre CX-7MP2 vs Rega Saturn.CD Pros and Cons??
Ayre CX-7MP2 ??Is this new? 
Which DAC is better?
Sfar,I have only heard their top of the line 750D (by itself, without comparing to my own or other DACs). I have not heard their entry level, but I can only assume it (I know I shouldn't) to be of significant lesser quality.Any chance you can audi... 
Which DAC is better?
Easy, Arye QB9. Moon DACs are generally excellent - but that's their top of the line stuff. I just can't believe they would make their entry level sound any good. Arcam should be taken out and shot for using words like "super USB" - I believe that... 
Best DAC for $500
A used in-production DAC that retails for $1-2k + less than 5 yrs old + motivated seller. I just recently picked up one of those DACs. Sounds great -- relatively speaking of course.
