+1 @jperry .Completely with you on this! ProAcs need some good quality wires and jumpers.Reach out to a good dealer and/or cable maker and see if they can make a nice pair of jumpers for you. 
Help ripping a single SACD?
Lets say, I get a DAC that does not have HDMI "IN". How should I stream my SACDs through that DAC? 
Help ripping a single SACD?
I know this is an old topic. But I am excited today, since I ripped my first SACD using the Sony BDP-S59X blu-ray player. I will continue to buy SACD when possible, over DSD downloads, and this process is so easy to convert them to DSD files.Has a... 
OPPO 205 VS 105 QUESTIONS
@mcgal,Would it be easy for you to introduce your 105 and 205 in the 2-channel system and compare the sound quality? Just checking. BTW, what is the disc player in your 2-channel system?

Quad S-2
@moffer,I think it is about the dealers wanting to push the higher end models and ignoring the budget models of Quad. Those speakers are awesome. I owned the 21L for 12 years and was very happy with them. The only thing they did not do was "full r...
