Owners of "Giant Killers"?

Gunbei,

No need to apologise. I didn't detect any gloating, which I wouldn't really have any great objection to anyway, I mean if we can't share our happiness about equipment that reproduces music in a satisfying way... Well, it just seems these forums are the place to do it, as well as discuss the downsides. You obviously took the time to evaluate different DAC's, and other equipment, in order find one that you find to your liking. Well done!

It might be madness, given your apparent satisfaction with the Audio Mirror DAC (and your current set-up), to spend 10 times the money on a new player. Although, I believe I suffer from the same affliction. ;-)

Are you still using the Theta Pearl as a transport?

Mghcanuck,

Yeah the Theta is still there. But, Tvad and Boa2 got me thinking of the APL Denon.

Guerilla Audio cables! I'd put these cables against anything, money no object! I still can't get over how good they are...

I have just bought the Space tech lab preamplifier 113.
Beat my previous reference Hovland HP100, then beat my present reference the Django transformer passive preamp.

For $800 what more can I say and it has only done 3 hours of break in.

Tvad still waiting for the uk apl denon.

Audiojoy4, no doubt the wait is frustrating, but the reward once you hear the sound will have been worth all the pain!
