A few things to bear in mind if reading those threads …
-
I do not read or post to either of them, anymore. Haven’t in, oh, has to be on the verge of five years now. So, if you do post on them you’re not going to see any response from me.
-
Since I last did anything of that nature, my tastes, and gear, and hearing have all changed.
-
I’m spending most of my time with speaker systems these days.
And it’s probably worth noting that the last time I did a “Top 10” post here, was more than three years ago, and most of that has changed since then too.
I still have my Blu-Mk2 (M-Scaler) and DAVE, but I don’t really use them anymore. I’ve just been too lazy to list them, and the other Chord pieces that go with them, for sale.
My primary DACs, as cost-no-object choices, for both my headphone and speaker rigs, are the Next-Ggen Linn Klimax DSM (Organik) units. I also have the latest Selekt Edition DSM w/ Dual Mono Organik DACs … which sounds as good, for half the price, if you JUST want the streaming and DAC functionality (otherwise the Klimax is better).
