Comparing the Pass Labs XA30.5 to the XA 30.8
Mbovaird,I used to have the XA30.5's and ultimately sold them because of the bass hump you mentioned. I liked it initially, but as time went on it became a thorn in my side. How would you compare the .8's with the XS? 
Lampizator USB Transport vs. Berkeley Alpha USB

Salk vs Daedalus Speakers

Help in choosing
I just read the latest TAS review on the Modwright Oppo 105 which would definitely do it but way over your $1k budget. It also mentioned that the stock Oppo 105 sounded etchy at times. The sound signature of your dac plays a huge role too. I'm not...

Coincident Dragons vs Vac Phi 200
Charles,I figured that and I'm willing to try a vac amp, when funds permit. Should be a fun experiment :)They are both superb amps and I'm sure I could be happy with either one, and it will come down to personal preference. 
Coincident Dragons vs Vac Phi 200
