Re: TeraDak-style

I still reckon the best upgrade for digital replay is a 15" woofer. That said, I do hear differences between different DACs. Variations in frequency response aside, the better DACs I've heard are more transparent and demonstrate superior timing. I can hear significant differences between DACs....
