The M1DAC does have a lovely mellow sound - using it for headphone purposes at the moment and it has a nice wide soundstage and plenty of involving detail. Very refined and polite.

Re: System Pics
Still crazy after all these years ....
'Big Knob' NVA preamp with inbuilt phono stage
Stereo A40 power amp
PSU tucked away out of sight
Made in 1986. Still sounds impressive.

Re: System Pics
Nice...Ali, brings back memories of days when I had to walk round my racks of amps and kit and speakers to get to close curtains etc.., had Martin Logans and later Impulse H2's,those days are gone I'm afraid and happy with something that makes a decent sound and minimal toe stubbing hazard.
Noticed you snagged a ATP-12t, stashed one for over 10yrs with a view of mating it with a SPU,off loaded on here recently, great bit of kit and a sleeper arm for sure.
P.S. is that a soundbar in front of your valve amps?, shouldnae think you need one with them OB's doing the business.
Frank...made me do it.

Re: System Pics
I've never been allowed racks, the wife has always refused to even entertain them so my stuff has always been stuffed into whatever space was available.
In the last house we had there was a 2 foot wide alcove at the side of the chimney, everything went in there which was nice and neat and out of the way
Not so much here, I've had to make a rack of sorts, because the available space is took up by tts, but it's more to store records in than a real rack.
The power amp has to go in a cupboard but that's ok, can't see it as there is a speaker in front of it so the cupboard sliding door can be left open.
A pain in the arse to turn it on though with the switch being on the back...
