    CH Precision L1 vs C1.2 Pre-Dac?

    Thanks for your compliments on my system. To clarify, I never owned a C1.2, I had the L1 preamp with the X1 power supply.

    CH Precision L1 vs C1.2 Pre-Dac?

    I had an L1/X1 (with an A1.5 amp) in my system prior to getting my MSB Reference. I ended up selling it and added the Reference Digital Director which did make a positive impact in my system. I also sold the A1.5 and replaced it with a D'Agostino Momentum MxV S250. In my room, these moves sound...

    Comparing different solutions/brands

    I have heard the Extreme w/the Taiko switch in my own system and preferred the Antipodes K50 G3 to it. The OLADRA G4 is even better than the K50. I know that you didn't mention Antipodes, but you may want to check them out if you haven't already.

    How Important Is NOS In A Dac?

    Have you heard the Discrete? If not, I suggest you get one to demo before getting one. If you don't have a dealer nearby, Vince @ MSB can set you up.

    Shunyata Grounding System

    FWIW, I have my subs plugged into my Denali 6000 v2 and my amp is the only thing plugged into the T2. I haven't noticed any ill effects having it set up this way. My front end is on a different wall and connected to an Everest.

    Ethernet Switch for only one component?

    Best thing to do is try one in your system, so either get a loaner to demo or make sure you can return it if you don't hear an improvement.

    I have the G4 OLADRA too, upgraded from a K50 v1. The HFA review is spot on and matches my experience with it.

    JL Audio Fathom F112 v2

    Added it later. I used to have a Trinnov Amethyst which has DRC in it w/ crossover for two subs. When I moved on from that, I bought the CR-1.
