TJtrout20: Yeah, I was wondering how long it would take for someone to have a Steelers comment...and you are correct. Steelers break my heart once again. Thanksk for the feedback...minus the Steelers reference. :-(

Linnie01: I was fortunate enough to get the Berkeley DAC here on Audiogon so I did not pay 5K. But to answer your question, yes it is worth that and more (IMHO). I've had other good DACs before and its always a matter of personal taste. For me, it just provides a level of detail and musicality you don't get in most others. It may just be that it works well with my setup (Classe SSP-800 and MIT Cables). Either way, I love it. Seems like the Weiss Dac is getting some good pub and have heard folks argue that it sounds better. I can't afford one so I wouldn’t know. Cheers!

Your center channel may not be blocking Ray Lewis.......but you can not say the same for the Steelers! :^) Nice system bet it sounds great.

Talk to me about the Berkeley DAC. Is it worth $5K?

Is the sound improvement substantial?

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it's definitely not the ideal place for the thermostat and I have to compensate with the temp setting. At some point I may move it but just living with it for now. Cheers

Beautiful looking setup, love the look of that center speaker. I noticed what looks to be your heating thermostat behind your flat panel TV, doesn't that screw up your home temp with it reading the heat from the equipment?

Yes they are and they're now listed. Thanks for the feedback.

Your speakers are apparently B&W, but you don't list them. Nice system.

Your TV is being BLOCKED by your
Center channel speaker!
Raise the TV, OR put the center channel
speaker on the FLOOR!
