Proac response 2.5 or Dynaudio Special 25
Funny you should dis on Simaudio with Dynaudio. I personally really liked the duo of Simaudio i5.3 and the Dyanudio Contour T2.5 that was my preference for quite some time in bedroom system. I now am just about as happy with the Xeo 3 in my bedroo... 
Proac response 2.5 or Dynaudio Special 25
I have owned the proac d15 D2 and tablette signature. I have also owned the Dynaudio audience 42, s3.4, C4, contour T 2.5 and the xeo 3. My personal preference is strongly to Dynaudio. I never was satisfied with any of the Proacs in fact I think I... 
USB Cables: Audioquest's Diamond vs Wireworld Pla
Yeah but in that shoot out the wire world was by far the most expensive cable. I think it would have been smart of them to include the Audioquest cable in there quite surprising they didn't. I guess all you can take from that shoot out is that mor... 
Dyanudio Xeo 3 Wow
The xeo does not need a DAC the DAC is part of the transmitter in fact I dont see how a great DAC could even come into play with these. I guess you could feed the analog inputs from the DAC but that seems weird to not just run a straight digital s... 
Decent entry level turntable?
I'd vote for the nottinham horizon. It's the only entry level turntable I've heard that actually sounds like the real deal

Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions
The inner sound amp would be perfect and right in your budget. They are great sounding amps and it nice that they sound as good as they do and don't run super hot and draw a lot of power at idle. I have had the esl 300 and now the dpr ref 500 and ... 
Looking for DAC suggestions
If there was a way to stretch the budget just a bit you could get a PS Audio perfect wave DAC mk II. I've seen new ones for sale with the sound bridge for 2700 right here on audiogon. This DAC is supposed to compete with DACs at any price and it s... 
Dyanudio Xeo 3 Wow
I am wondering the same thing. If there were more input options I might consider them for my main system. I could imagine we might see bigger and better versions of these in the future. For someone looking for awesome sounding uncluttered hifi thi... 
Looking for DAC suggestions
Wow what a cool girlfriend you are. Do you know if he has a preamp or does he need a DAC with volume control to directly connect to the amp? You could get 10 suggestions here that might all be good I would suggest the bryston BDA 1 personally if h... 
Which speakers should I get. $500-$1000
Need to know the amp you are using that synergy is the most important part 
New Music Recommendations 2012
I happened across a new group (I think it's just one guy) called Borealis Self titled album. It's pretty awesome if you like electronic music it's worth checking out. It's the album with the spine on the cover 
Rack/shelf for albums - suggestions please
The expedit is fine and will hold LPs no prob but yes you do need to attach to the wall. I bought one and repainted it in a few different colors and replaced a couple of the shelves with walnut it looks awesome and you can't even buy the raw mater... 
DAC /pre Advise NEEDED urgently
A benchmark DAC would be good it has a volume control and could be used as a preamp. 
Waterlogged Thiel CS-3.6
No way you could get a used pair around 1000 I've seen them lots of times or upgrade. 2000 just for cabinets is not money well spent.
