Whatever you decide to do, don't confuse "NOS DAC's" and "Sonic purity"!. The music we are listening to mostly wasn't digitised with NOS ADC's so there is no "NOS purity" to maintain. You might prefer the sound of a NOS DAC - that's entirely your choice - but there's no equivalent of the "moral high ground" for NOS DAC's to occupy :-) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
