I had great service from BAX Global about 2 years ago shipping speakers from Green Bay to Baltimore. 
logitech transporter vs. Squeezebox+PS Audio DLIII
I've not heard the Lavry, but have gone through the following DAC progression with my Logitech Duet: stock DL3, Cullen Stage 4 modded DL3 and currently PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC.The difference between the stock and Cullen Stage 4 DL3's were signif... 
Music Server with no DAC?
Subscribed. Interesting discussion here... 
has anyone tried PS Audio perfect wave duo
I got an answer from Ryan Conway at PS Audio:"The DL3 will take virtually any two channel PCM you can feed it as follows:USB = up to 16/48Toslink = up to 24/96Coax Digital = up to 24/192"So I can hear hi rez today (well, once I figure out how to g... 
has anyone tried PS Audio perfect wave duo
I believe the DL-III upsamples as a way to reduce jitter. Unfortunately, it does not offer a "native" mode of 44k(like the PWD will.) In any case, I am 99% sure it only deals with 16 bits, but I haven't queried the PS Audio folks yet to get the re... 
has anyone tried PS Audio perfect wave duo
I'm 99% sure the DL3 only takes in straight Redbook on the SPDIF inputs (16/44.1) USB is a different story, but I'm not interested in using USB. I want to have some higher than Redbook FLAC files on my laptop ready to feed the PWD when it arrives,... 
has anyone tried PS Audio perfect wave duo
How are you feeding 24/96 files to the DAC? Are you using a software player that downsamples them to 16/44? Tell me how so I can try it!Thanks. 
has anyone tried PS Audio perfect wave duo
I'm going to trial the PW DAC with my Duet and eventually pick up a NAS when the bridge is out ("Has anyone seen that confounded bridge" - Led Zep) Using the Duet is much more convenient than getting off the couch, turning up the lights and diggin... 
Bryston SST, McCormack DNA, or Parasound Halo?
I noticed this thread and, please don't take this as a shameless plug, I have a McCormack DNA-225 that's been sitting unused for a while (the upgraditis bug bit.) Just haven't gotten around to posting it here for sale. Email me for more info.Mike 
Any comments on the PS Audio DL111 with Stage IV mods?
Alpha3, What's now gone is something I thought wouldn't exist (much) in a $1K cdp; I'll call it digital harshness. The tweeters in my VSA VR-4SRs are very hot, so any crap in the high frequencies are in your face. The most obvious change when goin... 
Any comments on the PS Audio DL111 with Stage IV mods?
I picked up the stock unit about 5 weeks ago and am really enjoying it. It is supplementing an Underwood Level 2 modifed Music Hall CD25.2. Am also thinking about the Stage 3 or 4 Cullen mods, so will be watching this thread closely. Please keep t... 
Squeezebox Vs Duet
I guess I got lucky. About a month ago, I won an auction here for a Duet and a (stock) PS Audio Digital Link 3. Since I got them together, I didn't really listen to the Duet analog outs; pretty much went straight through the DAC. All I can say is ... 
Temperature of McCormack DNA-1?
I posed a similar question about a year ago about my stock DNA-225. I've since moved it from a somewhat enclosed cabinet to a rack that is open on all four sides and has about an eight inch clearance to the shelf above it. She's fine now; just som... 
Looking for a Solidly good inexpensive DAC
Blindjim, can you clue us in on what the forthcoming DAC is? I'm also looking at adding a DAC into my mix (Music Hall CD 25.2 with Underwood Level 1 mods, Bel Canto Pre2P, McCormack DNA-225, VSA VR-4SR Mark II.) I've read the online reviews of the... 
best way to ship Klipsch Forte II speakers
Can't help with crating advice, but I recently received a pair of VSA VR-4SR's (200 lbs a box) shipped and insured via BAX. The rates were very good and, at least on my end, they were treated very well. They arrived perfectly. However call their t...
