and the Aqua remote seamlessly allowing switching on the dac from the transport input to the server
Mike, I'm curious about your statement--I assume that the transport remote allows for this switching at the dac end. I'm a little surprised, given the 'mechanical' toggles on the dac. Does it just leave the toggles in place and just light up the new input?
I should introduce myself, I suppose. A long time ago I actually visited you once, while out visiting my folks who lived in Port Townsend at the time. You were kind enough to let me 'drop in' one afternoon. I'm also the 'east coast guy' that Ed has mentioned in whose setup he first heard the SGM-Formula combination (he was demoing the SGM in my system and I subsequently purchased the SGM, since I obviously liked the combo as well).
