Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

That's absolutely right. SO a good question for John

would be what is he going to be using for a transport with a DirectStream DAC?

From what I understand of the DirectStream DAC, - it, the Chord, and APL, are some of the closest we have to garbage in, great sound out.

I would love to compare.

As I strive to leave using commercial computers, I see that it's much more expensive to optimize a commercial computer for the transport, than it is to just buy a network file player, - for commensurate SQ. Of course, - there are levels within levels of optimizations.....

Comparing the AR to a Transport/Directstream DAC is the RIGHT test to conduct IMO.

Cheers,
