Charles,
I rather like your equipment...but I heard a demo of a Wavelength DAC...from whom I understand you are licensing some of their technology....it was played via a Mac mini/itunes...it sounded very nice....not sure it blew away my D1...but from what I could heard it seemed looser...less tight on the low end...could that be a result of wavelength's use of tubes to drive the output...into the preamp...I think it was into a K5 and V5....my goal is to replace the D1....and at this point it seems likely that top performance will come from a hard drive...and a great DAC.....have you A/B (I suspect you have) the wavelength device (retail was about $3K I think)...versus your dac with a mac mini....??
