ryno, that's a very tasty entree thet Kevin/DIYCable is serving up in that Adire/Usher combo...tho it needs some juice I think he mentioned. A mere 5 w (big as it may be) Clari-T or the like won't do it seems.
IMO the JVC is a great amp for just a couple hundred bucks, comparable to much more expensive gear.The Clari-T however, especially when paired with a battery dac, is something much more. It's a paradigm shift. Gary
Hi Gary:Perhaps you've mentioned this before, but mind telling me what DACs you've owned/heard relative to your battery-powered DAC? Any DACs w/ tubes?Thanks,stlblue
My last digital front end was:Philips 963sa transport -> Onix GrandMaster Digital cable -> Perp Tech P1-A ->Revelation Audio I2S Cable -> ModWright II P3-A They were powered with a ModWright modified Monolith power supply and I had the Revelation Audio power cords as well. there's just no going back.Gary

I've never had a tube dac in my system, although I have had a tube integrated amp. Now, after hearing an amp/dac that's dead silent, where the only noise you hear is on the recording, there's just no going back.Gary
The final design plan will likely be made available for purchase at a very nominal fee, and will be called, ....."DarkStar"
