Stacking Accuphase DACS/Spinners/Pre's?

[Weirdcuba]

My rack is now very crowded with all of this Accuphase stuff (not complaining).

In order to accommodate the 900/901 Dac/CD combo, I had to move my C3800 to a lower shelf and placed the 900/901 in a stack on the top shelf. I know the 900/901 combo is built to stack, but wonder if I could move the 3800 back to the "top shelf" and stack it, either on top of the DAC or the CD player (and if so, which would be best between the two)?

I don't see any reason why I couldn't do this, but thought I would ask as this stuff is too expensive to unintentionally screw up. My plan right now is to stack the 3800 on top of the DAC and then move the CD player to the lower shelf (where the 3800 is now).

Note that the stack did draw the attention of my better half. She's not happy with more stereo stuff. Just need to sell some real estate and build my dedicated room . . . .

Thanks in advance.

If any of these activities are causing you some grief, I can offer my custodial services while you figure things out!

why don't you buy a second rack?

No more room.

I know your concern, but this is a good problem to have

To put the 3800 on top of either the DP900 or DC901 should pose no problem at all. Weight is similar between the three units and the 3800 would not receive too much heat from the unit directly below.

Just to be sure, I'll put below the 3800 the cooler running unit between the DP-900 and DC-901 (I don't know wich one is is less warm during operation, but I imagine they both only get barely warm).

Yes, I am quite picky about heat management in my systems In the long run, it pays off.
