I currently have an Esoteric X-03se, but am looking to replace it with a DAC and computer source. I have a small "silent PC" with a Lynx card, and was orignally planning to connect it to an Esoteric D-07 (or possibly D-05) DAC via XLR connectors, externally clocking the Lynx card from a master clock. However, I've recently read about the new dCS Debussy dac, which looks interesting. Has anyone had the opportunity of auditioning one?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi,
I am looking to buy new speakers and am concidering the danish brand System Audio. Does anybody know about those speakers, I am looking for the SA 1530 but also concider the SA 1730. Thanks

I can see financing a house, car, even a stereo system.
But a Hooker ?

But, you know what I mean.
Let the discussion begin.

A rare chance to hear a world-class violinist in an awe-inspiring acoustical space--The Third Meeting House of the First Baptist Church in America, which still has most of its 1775 horsehair plaster. The recital is open to the public and free of charge. The program:

The AudioDharma "cable cooker" claims to re-break-in cables after about a year of use. This re-breaking-in supposedly makes a big difference in the sound of a cable.

Can anyone confirm this ? Does this method work ?

I am considering building a new house and prewiring for in-wall and in-ceiling speakers for my speaker needs. There are tons of in-wall speakers out there but no reviews of these speakers I have found. Certainly not in Stereophile where big floor standing speakers still rule. I will be getting rid of vintage Klipsch floor standers (reluctantly). But the clean look of in-wall speakers appeals to me more and more.

Anyone out there have experience with in-wall speakers? Prices range all over the map. What are some cost-effective speakers? Best buys? Comments welcome.

Hello everyone.

I've been reading Stereophile mag off and on for over 8 years. And, been reading through the forum for a week or so.

I have really nothing to share other than a small video I made while record shopping one day. Enjoy.
