i believe i could have done this on a mid-fi system as well, but with a revealing system like his- krell, krell, top level tara labs and thiel 7.2's...it was easy.

I bet, funny thing is that every DBT that has been published no one could tell the difference. What would make these DAC's sound different from one another?
