Audio-GD Singularity 19
Exactly. It has both NOS and OS capabilities, but the NOS setting is where I leave it 100% of the time. And not sure what one might not like about NOS when it is well implemented with a solid piece of gear. I'd (as always) recommend listening to things before deciding what one might like or...- mscott58

Audio-GD Singularity 19
If you want to try a good R2R DAC, then I'd suggest trying out the Holo Spring. I have the L3, but the other versions I've also heard good things about. True, they're much more expensive than the S19, but you get what you pay for. Cheers- mscott58

One does not always have to agree with the voice of experience (here it's a very well respected member of the greater community with over 5K posts across the two sites) but one would be unwise to disregard it. Cheers- mscott58

SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A
After all the fun of the past many pages talking about the warranty and who can sell what were, I checked on the Sony.com website and guess who the only company listed under "Where to buy" on the NW-WM1Z page? Yep, it's Amazon...- mscott58

Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC
I have my LAu on top of my Spring L3, but I've lifted the Spring with isolation pods and also have quiet computer fans blowing air from behind just in case. Modern fans that are easily powered using USB are also very quiet, especially on low speed. Never any heat issues, and I leave them on...- mscott58

Holo Audio Spring R2R DAC
100% agree. I have a Revive feeding my SU-1 into the L3 Spring, but not sure if the Revive does anything. Already had it in the pathway, so didn't bother changing it out. Cheers- mscott58

SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A
If this is the worst problem you have in finding a small button then I don't know what to say. It's location (unlike others) is very easy to find. Cheers- mscott58

SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A
Main difference is that the 1Z and 1A use a proprietary OS while the ZX2 use Android, so kind of apples and oranges. Should it work ideally? Sure. Do I personally prefer the OS of the 1Z/1A? Heck yes! Cheers- mscott58

Jason - Understand your warning, but Amazon typically doesn't conform to standard rules. If they're being cut off as Signature dealers? Then I'd be more concerned, but for ~40% off? That's harder calculus. Cheers PS - I'm a big supporter and customer of TSAV.- mscott58

SONY NW-WM1Z / WM1A
Theoretically, if the transport really was processing only true binary 1's and 0's the entire pathway. But sadly, that is not the case. Binary information (except in optical formats) is really transmitted in voltages, and it's not entirely "on" or "off" and in the analog world tries to...- mscott58
