Your first component that was "special"
My first feeling of stumbling onto something special was the result of a combination of a well mastered reissue of Miles’ My funny Valentine and Jobim’s and Getz’s samba record that when I played them through some Mirage Omnisat speakers in parral... 
Favorite guitar players not named......
John Abercrombie I just recently became aware of him via The Plot record by Enrico Rava. I look forward to getting into his discography. His style is kinda of an airy, kinda trippy, minimalist jazzy otherworldly deal but still swings. At last it i... 
Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You
I just recently, yesterday actually, put on Ornette's-This is our Music. I am really surprised how much I enjoyed it. Especially considering how I felt about it over 7 years ago when I first picked it up. Id listen to it only very occasionally to ...

Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed?
I say just keep your current mo working!  If you haven't already try screwing around with a fuse in the dac for some added fun.  
Volume imbalance
@yogiboy you were right, he fixed it, over the phone : ) He suggested going between detents as pots are continuous. Bingo! Doesnt address the quality issue vs. other options but my chief issue is behind me for now. Thanks all who chimed in.  
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Dead and Co. last month. More recently caught Earthless for a show last week. My ears got pummeled for that one. It was cool though.  
Volume imbalance
