I feel like I've been upgrading and mixing and matching forever now. I've been trying to build a system that gives me the energy of live music, and I think I am done for the time being.
I love listening to all types of music, from classical to metal, and this system does it for me. It rocks when I need it to and yet gives me delicate, beautiful melodies at other times.
I got Havana DAC too and loves it, though i rarely use computer(sony vaio) source which belongs to my wife, though i got CEC 51TL as dedicated transport, a pair of bookshelves Spendor(sp2/3r). I really enjoy the sound now, it's just so organic and gives a tremendous live feel to it. Im wondering if u ever compared hornings to spendor?
