Well, I was patient enough to wait long, close to 7 months, for the four-box solution. Nic tested and tweaked it for quite sometime.
It was worth the wait. This gear's of reference class. Nic's very busy man who pays lot of attention to the sound quality of the gear that goes out of the door.
Currently the setup is: Marantz 6000KI Signature as transport > Benchmarkmedia DAC-1 > Active Pres' > NAD C372 > Yamaha NS-1000Ms.
Soon the NAD'll be replaced with the Emotiva XPA-1s. The OPTs for NS-1000Ms, Energizers for the XPAs, and Dual Mono double c core TVC'll arrive from Nic.
