Portable DAC compatible w/ iPhone or iPod
I'm thinking of that other company that makes clever little "Toblerone candy" shaped mini DAC'sI think you're referring to this company: http://www.highresolutiontechnologies.com. Their Music Streamers used to be triangular. It looks like they've ...

Best Minimalist DAC?
I agree with Bill_k. Steve, you have a lot to share, but this post crosses the line between info and infomercial. When I read posts that bring up Atma-Sphere, I respect the fact that Ralph doesn't jump in to beat us over the head with specs and re... 
Quicksilver amps an appropriate match for Wilson Sophia?
Looking at specs alone, the Mini Mites are ridiculously underpowered for Sophia IIs. If you consider the fact that double the power produces 3 more dB, the Mid Monos aren't going to make any difference from the Mini Mites. The Silver 88 and V4 wil... 
good diy preamp

Sunfire 300 or 600. You will stop looking. 
Anyone into cassettes?

Cheapest good sounding dvd player?
Just to clarify... The Denon 2910 has HDMI and it came with a remote as standard, but it's a good idea to make sure the remote is included. 
Dirac live room correction software
Purist, thank you for the nice review. It is very encouraging. It looks like Stereophile just released a positive review. I'm curious how time consuming and/or complicated it was to set up? I played around with a Behringer DEQ2496 a few years ago ... 
Cheapest good sounding dvd player?
Richard, here's another vote for Denon 2910. I had one for a number of years. As a matter of fact, I brought it to your house several times. I don't think you were impressed, but you were comparing it to your Jolida which was much more lush and sm...
