Hi two dot, did you try a wilson, shindo combination. They work wonderfully together.

I am hopefully around two or three weeks away from Sophia 3s and getting excited. My dealer lent me a set of Transparent MusicWave Ultra speaker cable really nice upgrade over a set of Oracle V4 I have had for years.
Any idea how long it takes to break them in, I thought I would hook up to my Linn Classic for a few days before getting them placed by my dealer.

Break-in is 100 hours.

Congrats and enjoy!

No, never tried the combo, but I am pretty sure you would need A LOT more amp than my 15 watt Montille.

I have heard of people using the larger Shindo amps with Wilson speakers and loving the results.

Interesting:

Minimum amplifier power for the Sophia 3: 25 WPC.
Minimum amplifier power for the MAXX 3 : 20 WPC.

No doubt due to the MAXX 3's greater sensitivity.

Congrats, TMcD! What color did you order them in? And no doubt you will love the Transparent cables

I have about 12 hours of 24/96 on my MacBook that I'll be playing once she gets burned in. I also see where Linn has 192KHz FLAC files available. The new USB connection is supposed to be light years ahead of the DAC7's.

AeroSmith.... I know it's still breaking-in, yet can't find any reviews of the DAC8. How is it sounding?

As of yesterday, the DAC8 wasn't even on their web-site yet.
