The bloody phones have yet to arrive(650's) so im not as up and running as i would like - duet arrived this morning (what a great piece of kit) - impressions atm are that the sound is much more "powerful" , with Daltrey's vocals sounding much more realistic, through the GSlee than through the Caiman (at some point ill put the Duet through the Slee too - i could be in for a shocvk from what you guys say)

Ah, it was from AudioElavation, so im stuffed? Ive now ordered a Squeezebox Duet as well....but from a financial standpoint i cant afford to keep everything so ill be looking to get rid of the Dac or the Slee? Im amazed at the reviews of the SB and the quality of sound it offers, one of the reasons ive been so trigger happy is that i found it hard to comprehend that these circa

ok chaps, all fair cop, regrettably ive always been a tad hasty!

To ask others opinions?, as is normally the way on forums? Im happy with the sound tbh, and am just pondering a squeezebox duet.....

Great! Im aware of the issues with Stan - but the other side of that argument also seems to be as vocal in their support of the product (ive also seen the shilling) Where have i gone wrong then, in terms of choices? Prolly is too late to return, but i could sell at least one of them if there was something much better at the pricepoint? S

Just coming back to being interested in quality musical reproduction after 10 years away (kids etc forced a rethink of priorities), so please bear with me as things seemed an awful lot less complicated in the mid 90's! Just fyi i had an Arcam Alpha 5 (upgraded) with some Arcam Pre/power amps and some speakers which i cant quite remember if im honest, so i would like to think that whilst im no high roller i have a little more of an idea than your typical Ipod wearing youth.... Ive just purchased the following:- Beresford Caiman Dac Graham Slee Novo + PSU1 Headphone Amp HD650 Phones (on their way, currently using SR80i's) My main question evolves around source - using my pc as the transport (connecting the DAc via Digital Coax to my Creative Xtreme Music), is this a balanced set-up or is any one of the components much better than the other etc etc? All items burning in atm, but its great to hear feet tapping in the studio etc again...
