I also posted this in the Digital Forum, but I think this may be a better spot.....

I am about to pull the trigger on a new configuration for my home office to listen to lossless music from my Mac. I have decided on the Trends Audio 10.1 Amp and am down to either the Musiland MD-10 or the new Citypulse 2.03e USB DAC. Any suggestions?

Also, are there any efficient bookshelf speakers that anyone has been happy with? I am looking at the Orb Audio speakers as well as the small B&Ws. Since I am using this small amp, I don't think there are a ton of super-efficient bookshelf speakers out there.

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Hello all,

Any plans to review this $10K Player? Looks like it might be a giant killer. It may push JA's mearsuring gear way beyond its limits.

I'm happy to have read a Stereophile review of a product that the reviewer didn't like. I don't know if my whining had anything to do with it or if it's just a co-incidence, but I'm really happy about it. I really think that publishing negative reviews establishes reviewer's credibility.

BTW, I think it's ok to say that a product just plain sucks without any qualifiers such as "some may like it" or "this isn't my cup of tea, but others may feel differently" or any other such cushioning statement. If it sucks, it sucks. Say so.

I have an Oppo DVD player connected only with coaxial digital inputs to an A/V receiver (Sony 5200ES). When I play SACD I get (a nice) sound therefore it seems that digital output is enabled. But I get only 2 channels (even if priority is set to multi-channel) and no hint of the actual sampling rate (unlike when playing DVD audio).
I wonder if there is any way of getting multichannel sound from SACD through the digital connexion.
Can anybody help?

I found a pair of AR-3's in pristine condition.
Acoustic Research, off-white grills.. beautiful

I paid 20 bucks... good deal or no?

I really don't know what to make of this but it's bound to set the cat among the pigeons.

I have mine on pre-order anyway. Waddayareckon JM??

In his hopeful assessment of the future (As We See It), Jon Iverson celebrates downloading as a route to finding new music. No argument from me, but there is another route that I find more fun - the used vinyl rack at my local indie record shop. Picking through the jazz the other day I happened upon a misfiled record (understandably misfiled - the cover picture was Wynton Marsalis).
