    It finally arrived - a new Cambridge CXC transport to feed a new Schitt Modi 5 .. I am thrilled with the sound. Later, I found a CD-R disc of MP3s of songs from the 70's. Imagine my surprise when it wouldn't play - I tried another - same rejection .. this was unexpected, as I assumed it would...

    Best iPod DAC

    I was wondering what you guys think About iPod / iPhone DACs. I currently use an iPod video 5.5 generation for my lossless music. This model uses a Wolfson DAC and I feel the sound is the best of all Apple products. What’s your thoughts?
