Thanks, ILance. Coincidentally, I just bought El Capitan's ZSB, but mostly for comparing components/cables. When I really sit down to listen, I want as few connections in the path as I can have. For instance, my simplest system: I have one of Steve's older modified Tascam cd players with the tubed output stage w/volume control. I run that straight into my Cary/AES Six Pac monoblocks, and then into the speakers. No muss, no fuss, just straight-ahead tubey goodness. My computer audio, however, is the problem. Every time that I think that I'm getting close, I go back to the system detailed above, and I realize how far off I am. I love the convenience of having all my music on my Mac, using my iPad as remote, etc, but ultimate hi-fi, it ain't.
