New Bel Canto REF600M using NCORE
I currently have a pair of Pass Labs XA160.5s and my speakers are Martin Logan Summit Xs. How would the REF600M compare to the XA160.5s. Would be nice to have cooler running amps. I don't want to sacrifice the SQ. 
Amps with short warm up time 4 critical listening
Jmcgrogan2, because way too expensive to leave on 24/7. It's like leaving a 1200W blowdryer on. 
What is the best transport?
I think it may be over powered. You may need traction bars. LOL!

How do you connect a PC/Laptop Win 64bit OS to a EMM XDS1? 
Zodiac Gold w/Volticus vs Bel Canto w/VBS-1
I myself have the Bel Canto DAC3.5 with VBS1 paired with a Pass Labs XP-20and experiance just increadble SQ that's 2nd to none.I have this combo connected to a music base server. 
Yet another DAC recommendation request
The "Off-Ramp USB Converter" is another excellent converter according to reviews. 
Yet another DAC recommendation request
Audioengr, I sure did. I have a subscription with TAS. The DAC3.5VB is just an incredible DAC. With that DAC, converter and music server, togather they out performed the stand alone $10K Esoteric SACD/CD player I owned. Infact at this point I thin... 
Yet another DAC recommendation request
If you decide to get a better converter look into the WaveLink HS 24/192 USB to SPDIF converter. It's a VERY good referance class converter. Infact that's what I have in my dedicated 2CH system. The outboard DAC I use is the Bel Canto e.One DAC3.5... 
Esoteric K-03/Plinius CD-101
I Say skip the CD player and setup a good music server with a good outboard DAC. A 20K CD player can't compete if done right. 
Mono blocks that can provide that golden sound...
Don't like to give money away. Those couple of hours I'll eat dinner, watch the news and take my shower. Then my wonderful amps will be ready to perform for me.
