Re: [ARSCLIST] Shopping for AD/DA

I would argue that these would be great overkill for such things as cassette field recordings, 
almost any spoken word, private recordings, old non-hifi media, etc. For music masters, yes, no 
doubt. Also for a reference listening system in a top-flight highest-fidelity recording facility.

One man's opinion, etc.
