| is an upsampling dac necessary for dvd trans..... No. The dac will read the data as either 44.1 or 48 (for 96K) depending on whether you play cd or dvd. If you like the dac there is no need to get an upsampling dac. | |

| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? Rcprince, perhaps fountain pens would work better, or felt tip markers. How about #2 pencils or paper clips. Heck, the office supply store could be a gold mine for audiophile tweaks. Forget the clock. Give me the magic pens! | |
| Amp advice for Avantegarde HELP Art audio is a good choice. Another you may want to consider is the Audiopax 88. It is a very innovative design using KT88's. Supposedly they are an excellent match with the Avantgardes. | |
