Except the DAC3 is a $1000 DAC selling for $2500 IMO.

BINGO. Give this man a prize. They have a whole raft of technologies in there but they pointed at very different market segments. The Wadia represents a simpler and more flexible solution. However, this is coming from someone who has no interest in either the Bel Canto or Wadia dock.

Right .... or I could buy the Wadia and route the digital output into my HT processor and convert it to 5.1 or 7.1 there. Hmmm .... let me see which way I should go.

Check the interconnects, take two aspirin and call me in the morning.

Have a Happy Woody Birthday

Well if you have to ask, that pretty much says it all.

Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday!

Just in case anyone wants to know where they will not be attending, I posted the location and time over at that other site.

meh. Maybe Malthus, but not Newton.

x2 on that. But it is coming.

Well I'm 52 and the HDD based music system has fundamentally changed the way I listen to music, and for the better IMO. Burning disks is not an option anymore. I want to be able to take my entire music collection with me when I travel and i want to be able to listen when I have the small segments of free time I now have. I still rip almost all of my music from CD's, but the CD's themselves are not really used after that. The pre-pro is a good idea and it is what I use in my HT set-up. I do not have a problem using a pre-pro in my 2-channel setup, but at that point I might as well just buy a DAC. If it is not a Sony then so be it.

I do not know about this specific model but if I recall correctly, APL used to have a digital input option on the 3910 mod. However, I think they pretty much ripped a good chunk of the original electronics out and replaced them anyway. Anyway, I'm sure it is possible.

In 2009 no digital input = FAIL. I will not be auditioning any one box units that do not have at least one digital input. If I'm paying for a great DAC I want to be able to use it for other transports (and yes I am talking about the PCM DACs).

I currently use the Audioengine A5's in my work setup. I originally bought them as a stop-gap until I get something better. As it is they will be staying until I get the baby Harbeths and an amp worthy of them.

No, it was going to be done but then we were going to deny everything and blame it on DannyB.

Exactly ...

No, it just means he's not on the list. There is a venue but all the details havee not been worked out yet.
