    This is a great DAC. If you are looking for a solid 18bit Dual Burr Brown class A dac, this is it.

    I agree. I was fortunate enough to get one of these off a junk pile and I was stunned by how big a difference it made. I was running an older Carver cd player and after connecting it , I was surprised by how much life it brought to my music. If you're on a budget and wondering how much difference a dac can make on older equipment, you owe it to yourself to try it. Big improvement. Even works better than a lot of the built in dac's on newer cd and dvd players.

    I ordered some Adcom knobs over a year ago, so they should still be available. It's not that old and the styling hasn't dramatically changed.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    George was great enough to hold this for me. Now that I have bought it I was wondering if anyone had an extra knob or knew how to get one on the cheap?

    Thanks, Dave
