Voltron

I have never liked the sound of the Benchmark DAC1 and yet Ric is right that I was also impressed the DAC2 HGC. Very good sound and handles a lot of formats and inputs. No SD or USB stick input directly, but maybe some external device can allow such connections to the USB input? The seriously impressive sounding device was the Playback Designs MPD-5. The MPS-5 version also has a CD/SACD player that would be super sweet, but not smaller or lighter than your Sony monster. What is Dinny's DAC?

I can't imagine mixing and scratching would do a TT any good for audiophile listening. I wouldn't buy one and expect it to sound any good or hold speed well.

Have a great one Naaman! I may have to pick up some OE800 to toast you properly. Cheers!

Good news Vicki! Hope the PT does the trick!

I am far behind on coming up with a solution for my house as well, Jim. I was foolishly hopeful for some kind of SSD Thunderbolt array after they showed off TB with that type of prototype 2 years ago. I am at the point where I may hire someone to set something up that is workable and will work for my family, or at least bribe Grahame with bacon and Diet Coke so he can help me do it myself. Please post your progress and I am going to check out this Synology stuff.

Toasting Stephen and my son Alden who is 15 today with one of Stephen's NC brews. Tasty stuff. Cheers boys!

Too bad they skimped on the cheese.

Have a great one, Stephen, and enjoy your cake with some beer! Cheers!

Sorry, Shelly, you have already determined that nobody passes through Houston. :/ Glad you had a great meal though!

I'm not even into bike porn but those are hot! Congrat Jeff.

How could you pass up Paraguyan Harp and 25 Polka Greats?! Steely but soulless British resolve, I guess.

Happy birthday Jeff, and best of luck fleeing Pennsylvania.
