System Goals/Comments: My next goal is to upgrade my ancient NAD CD to either a transport, or an older solid cd player, paired with the Audio Note DAC
System Strengths: Clarity, presence, "black" background, very involving
System Weaknesses: Sibilants (although the DAC helped a lot), soundstage, positioning of instruments etc.

The system is placed on a bookshelf that isn't very stable.
