    ProAc?

    After listening to a ProAc floorstander -- not sure of the model but the dealer mentioned 7k -- I find myself often thinking about them! Although I listened only to a snippet from a CD, I recall being drawn to something about the sound. So, what's the concensus on these speakers?

    EVS modified Gustard X20/Gustard X20 thread

    I have about 150 hours on mine so far. Really an excellent DAC. Clean, quiet, and transparent are the words that come to mind. Very good definition. I haven't done a thing to it yet. I am going to be sending it to Ric for the mod 1 package.

    DACs Galore and Expectation Bias

    Amazing claims have been made about the Gustard X20. I note that the amazing mods being worked on in the other thread that got moved have not been updated since last year -- which seems to indicate those that have been raving about it have moved on, suggesting that it wasn't so wonderful to...
