The DAC looks very interesting. You clearly loved it. Beautiful external design. I have a need for SACD as well which makes standalone DAC's hard to consider. Though right now I haven't used digital since I received my 301 TT.

I need to refine the set up of my speakers as they break in as I feel I haven't gotten their best yet.
I really like the looks of the Wavacs....they're beautiful in-person. The craftsmanship is of a very, very high order.

As is the Wavelength DAC, which made the Esoteric disc player sound thin and a bit compressed in soundstaging, by comparison. And the Esoteric is one of the best disc players I've ever heard!

I'm coming to the opinion that Gordon Rankin, like Caelin Gabriel and Nelson Pass, is a genius.
