Are manufacturers having discussions removed from Audiogon if they turn negative?
Have not noticed that.  Agree with gdnrbob 
Are DAC's overpriced?
There are some good sounding low cost DACs and some not so good expensive ones. But the best ones seem to be fairly expensive. As with most stuff.

Good DACs have known benefits, But what About Streamers
if you like the user interface on the Sonos, get the Wyred4Sound Mod and run it through the DAC in your pre...I have one and the sound is excellent 
Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos

Nuforce STA200
smallish room, about 12x14...I think the amp is fine into 4 or 8 ohms, as long as it is looked at as a fairly low power amp, which is what it was designed as...many amps put out same or similar power into 4 or 8 ohms, such as McIntosh... 
Nuforce STA200
I've had no trouble with 4 ohm speakers...currently Dynaudio Focus 220 mkll... 
Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos

Pass Labs - 350.8 stereo vs. 260.8 monos
agree that X250.8/X350.8 is personal preference, not one better than other...also many prefer the X series to the XA...Kent from Pass or Mark from Reno HiFi will get you as well informed as can be without an actual audition...

Jumpers for Verity Parsifal Encore
jumpers make a difference, get the matching Zen ones...
