My combo does not sound as good as my Classe CD player but is a lot more convenient.

Have you ever compared your Squeezebox and DAC combo to a higher end CD player?

System edited: Added a external DAC for my Squeezebox. It now sounds smoother and it images better.

Wow, pretty similar system in many ways to mine (I5, LP5.3, Hawks). The Totems and I5 really make music together, don't they?

My LP5.3 is brand-spanking new, just breaking in now...wow is this thing quiet! My copy of Abbey Road had this constant "hiss" going through the whole record, and that's completely gone with the LP5.3! Will be seeing how its sound affects my overall system over the next little while...and isn't that one of the best parts of this hobby, listening to your music again for the first time!

Totems working very well. Totem bass is not as powerful butis quicker and more musical. There is a lot more detail in the sound.

Rudy- Looking good, one of these days we'll have to get together to listen! We keep saying it, one day it'll work for us.

I agree though it was a lot of sweat and hard work that went into building this house- I am glad as a member of audiogon I could help with the framing :o)
