Wow. That's great news, then, psyprof1. It seems to be working.

Definitely you get the best of your DV578A using it only as a transport, as 990 has a nice sounding DAC section.

If I'll buy a Yaqin, I'll use it in my Music Hall, Cambridge Audio, Infinity Delta 30 stereo chain I use for music. I intend to replace the Cambridge, although I'll have to think twice as it sounds so nice to my ears, with a Vincent Audio hybrid preamp and a pair of Outlaw monoblocks. But I'll have to work my way into that investment first, you know, I have to "earn" it. :rolleyes:

I use the 990/7100/Axiom W2 system for HT only, which is a shame, 990 being so good, but my HT room is pretty difficult and I don't have too many options to treat it, given the design and my wife's total opposition to any aesthetic penalty in favor of sound quality.

C'est la vie, I have the other system for music, "win some lose some", cannot win them all and thank God I don't have to lose them all .

Thank you, once again, for the info on Yaqin, very helpful for me.
