Looks Great Howard !
Enjoy it in great health !
Which PS do you use with the Dac ? XPS2 ?
Do you know that the Dac is among the very rare ones with the MDA 1000 to upsample to 768 kHz ?

Howard.......You have created another amazing sound system. As is usual for hkval and company, the integration of the equipment into your beautiful living room looks impecable. The visual appeal of the front of your room is exciting and relaxing at the same time. I am certain the aural pleasures are other worldly. You are the master and it shows. Congratulations on a superb sound system project that has been finished so beautifully.

Interesting the "little" Naim brings you more listening pleasure than the "enormous" McIntosh.

Howard
That is a very nice system you have put together there. I have heard some very nice things about Naim's hi-end gear but have not heard it other than in a poorly set-up demo. I'll bet it sounds great in your room.

Howard, looks amazing. I have always heard great things about Naim, but have not had an opportunity to do any serious demo of it. How would you describe the character of the sound relative to your McIntosh-based system?
