System Goals/Comments: | This was truly a simple all-in-one integrated amp/dac system when I named it (after having owned various tube monoblock amps, preamps and sources) but it has gotten a little more involved with the addition of the Mac mini, USB dacs and software. But more fun for me. Never boring. Always a setting to experiment with/tweak. |
