Just to add I've just been looking at a Beresford Caiman Dac, would this connect to my Arcam dock/and Sugden amp?
Sure would, Jason!
And would probably change the sound a bit too, but i cannot say in which direction...
On the other hand you could muster up an old CD player to use as transport also, and have another option for source!

Thanks for the info Mike;)Quote:

Jason,
Great looking system! Very sleek! You did it right!!
I have Cambridge doc connect to the the Bushmaster Dac and am very happy with it.
But if you go that route, wait for the new one - it has a new powersupply that may make linear PSP unnecessary.
How do you like the Neats? Im looking for some replacement speakers that are not harsh/fatiguing.
Stu
Hi Stu thanks for the info mate;) I've nearly sold the neat's quite a few times over the years I've had them but I'm glad I didn't now. There a great pair of speakers and they never sound harsh they just seem to get better every time I upgrade anything in the system. There a top quality speaker build and sound and never fail to impress they fill my room with sound no problem 19ft x 12ft. I don't think you would be disappointed if you bought a pair, I listen to jazz, Zappa, the who, Christopher cross, and they always sound perfect to me:)Quote:

Apple and anything: No no no.
Yes I am a member of the 'anything but Apple' brigade. But maybe I am the moron :-> Presumably you play Apple's lossless format.
I have to say though I just love the simplicity of your system. Everything looks cool, right down to Neat's 'n' logo. Also + 1 on the fab photography - clearly you have more than one channel of artistry. Taste, man, taste!
Thanks Andrei glad you like the system:) as I say I'm very new to digital so I haven't downloaded the music on the lossless format yet or even sussed out how to do it. But soon as I get a new DAC I hope to learn:)Quote:

Those Neat's are gorgeous looking Jason and the setup looks great :)
