I recently acquired a Luxman M-700u amplifier and a CL-38uc preamplifier. While the M-700u does not possess the nth degree of control on the Wilson Sabrina like the Symphonic Line Kraft 250, it is sounding very good indeed. Maybe I will consider the 900u as a future upgrade. I also replaced the Kimber selects with Acoustic Revive solid core copper cables, feel that they are sounding better with the Sabrina.
Thanks Sid. Just curious if you got a purpose built music pc why not do away with the need for USB converter and use a pci card that has built in SPDIF coax output? From everything I have read, the Essence sound card from ASUS is very high quality.
Sidvee, just curious what output are you using from your pc to DAC? I am in the planning stages of building a CAPS and trying to determine if I should go with USB then a USB>SPDIF coax converter or just use an SPDIF sound card to begin with.
Nice Sid! Like you I am almost exclusively listen to my digital music collection. Unlike you, I went the opposite direction and am looking to add a cdp that I can also use as a DAC instead of have just a dedicated DAC. The main reason is flexibility. I dont like having to wait to rip a new cd then rescan my library before I can have a listen. Personally, I think having a cdp that can also serve as a DAC provides the best functionality. That being said its very cool you have found your "holy grail" in terms of music setup that suits you. I am very interested in what speakers you end up with. I too am just beginning my search for some new speakers I can keep for a while. BTW, Harbeths are great! So organic sounding.
