[QUOTE="CD Fourie, post: 1056211, member: 2568"] Thanks guys, this has been a great help. I really appreciate the advice. I also found an older post from Drifter (Hein), talking about a similar topic in May last year. I'm taking my EmmLabs to the grave with me. :tongue: It's the old demo unit originally auditioned by the late Mr. Deon Schoeman in 2009. Jeandre (AV Boutique) upgraded the transport a few years back. It has been unused until late last year, when I realized just how good it should sound after upgrading amplification to Ayre Acoustics awesomeness. So, still pretty much a new transport in the old girl. Plenty good older DACs available at bargain prices from time to time though. Just thinking, using the digital out of the Yamaha AVR (streaming Tidal... dare I say) into a bargain older DAC, could this be an option? Surely this cannot sound as good as a dedicated modern component, such as Limetree Network or other similar products from more esoteric brands? Right now I am leaning towards the Lindemann. [/QUOTE]
