First of all, thank you Ben. You rock for keeping the Adcom GDA-700 is such great condition (except for that covered up scratch in the corner which you can't see unless you shine light on it and see the varied reflection) and for sending me a pair of your IC's with the Adcom.

Second of all, WOW. I didn't know how much of a difference a good source could make because I've only ever bought an HT Omega Striker soundcard and a Zero DAC/Amp. Wooow. My music goes deeper and articulates so clearly that it is just astounding to hear the difference between this and my other "DACs" (after hearing this one, I am having a hard time considering the other sources as DACs).

Third, now I am itching to upgrade my Swan M200MKII and getting a speaker amp and some passives like some Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 SE or something.

Fourth, I can't WAIT to be able to mod the Adcom and make it sound even better! Anyone got any suggestions?

Fifth, I am pretty happy with my headphones (K701) and headphone amp (Heed Canamp). But pair these with the Adcom GDA-700 and my computer seems to be able to produce beautiful Vivaldi, Mozart, and some rocking Pearl Jam and Motley Crue.

Sixth, thank you CLUB POLK!!!

    I feel like I gave you your first hit of crack. Please forgive me:(
    Something to read. I know just enough to be dangerous.

    Just hold out for a while till you get used to the sound. Also the cables need at least 80hrs to burn in. Hook up a CD player via coax, or toslink then tell us what you hear:)
    Have fun.
    Ben
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    Congrats on your new found love. Sit back and enjoy it for a while then decide what upgrades would be best.

    Lol. Thanks for all your support. Actually, for now, I want to finish my computer build and then move on to DIY. Probably won't upgrade for a while unless I find an amazing deal on some Ascend Acoustics.
