New Oppo BDP-95 better than the McIntosh MVP-881?
Oppo still uses crappy switch mode power supplies for their video. 
Kondo DAC : Why no reviews ??
Rich does not equal the best quality nor the best in taste. It just means they spend more money. 
Dump the Wadia 781?
I called Wadia last week. I was informed they will honor GNSC work period, end of rumors. 
Connect Macbook Pro to DacMagic DAC
I love Decibel. Great value! 
Sony PS3 Optical Out to a DAC?
Thanks Michelle. 
Review: Wadia Series 9 DA converter
I have awesome sounds from my GNSC Statement Wadia S7i with a Concert Fidelity CF-080LX (Steve Hoffman and Dick Olsher own this preamp). 
Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best
I have to agree with Rocco. The Burmester 911 MK3 must be heard regardless of price. It is simply stunning in sound and in looks and build quality.

Wadia S7i.

Joe, I know how you feel. Even though mcIntosh has a great following and loyal fan base, I sold my MCD500 after 6 months. It sounded great, but did not get me to connect emotionally to the music. Some feel McIntosh is the SOTA, but not me. 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
I know a well respected Concert Fidelity dealer and for audio shows he uses Concert Fidelity preamp, Venture Speakers, Hegel amp and Weiss DAC with modded Esoteric transport. 
Cable Costs Relative to System
I have a $100K system and bought $400 cables. Yes, not a typo. :) I bought and sold my Transparent Reference, FMS, NBS, Wireworld and NBS. I currently (after a trial period) bought all Frost Audio BlackFrost cables. In short, spectacular! Forward ... 
Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter
I have the Concert Fidelity CF-080 preamp, so I know about the quality and sound of CF gear. In short, it is SOTA. But, keep in mind you need a world class transport with the 040 and it's one input. 
Anyone try the Purist digital isolation adapter?
Natan6355- could you please email me more on the Celtic silver-anderson94949@yahoo.com 
Has anyone heard an MBL 1531 with an external DAC?
Chuck, which gear did you use the Dueland crossovers in? Hope all is well and thanks for sharing. 
Wadia S7i direct to amp
Just a heads up, which I cannot believe. Both Frost Audio and The Great Northern Sound Company have closed their doors right after I bought their products. Talk about picking some winners! At least I am stuck with outstanding products.
