| Relaxed, musical DAC around 2k used? +1 on the Brooklyn. :) Best,E | |

| The Carver Amp Challenge and the 21st Century and it's Failure i will add your list ignored the great contribution of Dr. Matti Otala...TIM Sorry, I meant to type that but instead typed IM. But ... 1970. | |
| The Carver Amp Challenge and the 21st Century and it's Failure To give an example of what I'm talking about as really revolutionary, consider the system Meyer's sound labs uses to tune pro audio systems in real time as the audience arrives. THAT is, relatively, revolutionary, and takes huge advantage of DSP a... |
