rajacat, I don't disagree. My SB/modded elpac sounds great with both my DACS, I had the luxury of hearing a TP before buying. I liked it so much I had to buy it and it keeps getting better with burn in. It is one of the most musically involving components I have heard in a long time. For me it is better than the SB+DAC and that's why I bought it. I have 2 people waiting to buy my SB/mod elpac at break even so I'm not out anything. I also like that the TP matches well visually with my Rowland gear.........but if it didn't sound beter I wouldn't have bought it. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29124 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
