me likey. similar to mine, only mine is pretty far from minimalist, hehe. i'm using an apl-modded emmlabs sacd-1000 transport and an emmlabs dac 6 to an emmlabs switchman preamp to ATC active monitors. and i'm also using DNM solid-core cabling. btw, i'm pretty sure the pre in the dcc2 is not a passive pre - it's just a 2-channel version of the switchman.
and adonati - i have *no* idea what you're talking about re: the cables. methinks you got some bad info.
