Yesterday afternoon I replaced my Rossini player & clock with my new Vivaldi DAC, clock and upsampler. It will take some time to determine which Map program, filters and sampling I like best but so far it sounds great. I am not sure yet were to place my phone stage. For the time being I placed it vertically next to the cabinet.

Here are a couple of quick shots.

Wow. I imagine that the only way to improve the sound at this point is to have the artists come in and perform live for you. So nice.
