    Wonder if something like that will make a difference on my Oppo? Did it make a difference on your Rotel?

    Thanks

    yes, Significant improvement. Improved the soundstage width, tighter bass and cleaned up the highs.

    Dang...bad timing for me. I've been eyeing the DacMagic new for basically this price...so this is very intriguing. If this hangs around for a few months or you decide to put up for sale again later I'd be interested.

    Good luck with the sale.

    I've been waiting for you to sell this:wink:, but I just can't swing it right now. Down payment and closing costs on the new house killed me. Plus, I've got to get my Rotel receiver in for repair. I'm pming you now for the name of the guy in McKinney.

    Interest? You either put it up for sale or you don't. Why waste everyone's time?

    See:

    Thinking of buying this DAC, that is, if it was for sale. I might decide to send you a PM. Or maybe not. I wonder if you would be interested in receiving a PM from me.
    But I am not really convinced I want to buy this.

    I played CDs and SACDs on my Rotel the PS Audio DAC was connected to and worked great.
