    Probably not. The Wyred4sound here was competent but expensive and underwhelming: http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/not-a-lot-of-dac-talk-on-here.197/page-7#post-155986
    
    Not 100% sure but I think the version I heard was 9028Pro.

    I have not been keeping up with the Sabre DAC versions, so totally clueless as to where they are going these days. Saw that NAD has started to put some Sabres in their products, hence the question.

  "At this point it becomes a subjectively guided tone-control exercise, not a calibration." I am starting to think there might be a point.

  Found 2 very interesting looking DIY tube-amps. One OTL and another EL84 SE amp. So much to learn!

  Finally, back to Multibit. Got a great deal on a Bifrost. Should be fun comparing it to Modi 3.

  Received the THX 789 today. First impressions... it is "ok". Not all that different from the ADI-2 headphonejack. Need more samples.

    Neil Blomkamp isn't his own cinematographer, he uses a dude named Trent Opaloch who I've met, super nice guy. He most recently shot Infinity War and Endgame.

    @PTS , most def. District I was fantastic and Elysium was a sci-fi film about healthcare, and Chappie just sucked. I'd like him to get away from social allegory and just tell a good story

    I just like the way he makes robots look and feel. His output has been patchy, it is true.
