Trey,
I don't know what prompted you to trade out the audioquest cables for those MITs..  I used to run MIT term. 2's with my CDM-9s and they SUCK life out of the music big time.  :twocents:

I still have my vampire wires, will compare and see which I prefer.

yeah but you need a pre behind it no?

Trey wins!

Jonny,

Sony CD Player
Tascam DA-20mkII
Bel Canto DAC-1
B&W 602.5's
Paradigm PDR-8
NAD 370 Integrated
Synergistic Research cables and interconnects

I like it alot but right now I'm going to get more bang for my buck out of my recording rig. This thing was $1200+ new and the used prices dropped when they released the DAC-2 which does 24/192 upsampling, the DAC-1 is only 24/96.

not that i want to talk you out of it, but the dac-1 can be upgraded to the dac-2 for 500 dollars (which is what most likely id do within 6 mo time)
