Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things.
"Does anyone remember "Black Lights"; they made ladies legs glow in the dark when they wore certain kinds of stockings, what a scintillating sight."I never noticed their legs. I was captivated by their bras! And anything washed in certain detergen... 
Only you expensive cable owners, is this real?
I wasted 10 minutes of my life on this stupid thread! Only one person contributed anything to the knowledge base. @jl35 , at least I think you are sincere. Has anyone else ever tried these cables? They look intriguing, but I've bought 2 products f... 
What area or country do you live in ?
New Joisy, USA. You got a problem wit dat?  ;^)Near horse country, actually. Madison, a small college town. 
I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind...
Try some cheaper Analysis Plus cables and see if they make the grade. I know some people rave about the Chocolate Ovals.

Well I've had the C-5xeMP running for a couple of days now. Right out of the box and still quite cold from being in an unheated UPS truck (I actually met the delivery guy in my driveway and nearly ripped it from his arms) It sounded very good vi... 
Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak??
@thom_mackris , where is your shop? You sound like a most ethical dealer!@orenstein, "  I found them to be stunning!" Ever since I read a post that called fuses stunning I have not trusted that word when applied to audio gear unless it's "when I ...

@ozzy , Yes it was directed to you and I think I get the picture now.@mahler123, I took a quick look at the Bryston DAC and it is very impressive!Last night I faced the music with my wife and took my 40 lashes. It was painful, but we'll both heal.

Good idea, @yage . I'll keep my eyes open. 
Have you had enough of Classic Rock?
I'm with @whart . Surprised no one mentioned Moby Grape, or did I miss it? I also discovered Isis, an all girl band whose eponymous 1974 album is still one of my favorites, Aum, a great early San Francisco band, and Motherlode, a wierd blues-rock ...

Thanks, Phil. Your system must sound superb. Do you still use the JVC from time to time? Something like the 851N may be in my future and I agree with you on the SS storage, having been involved in PACS implementations in Radiology departments wher...

That looks like a wonderful piece of equipment. When your listening are you using a laptop to navigate or do you program a playlist and sit down and enjoy? 
I want to dump my Oppo; but...
I tried burning some of my USB files on a DVD with some success this evening; but that alone wouldn't solve the problem, since much of the best music is FLAC or DSD; which I think the Ayre won't handle anyway. It seems the best idea is going to be...

Thank you both for your help. I should have mentioned that I'm not all that swift when it comes to digital. The QX-5 Twenty has a tiny scree and I don't see any HDMI or video out. So how would I see and navigate from my listening chair?And the onl... 
Is it all in my head??
@roberjerman : " Now if someone snuck in overnight and replaced that new PC with the cheap original one (and you didn't notice), it is most likely that you would not hear any difference from the day before!"" If PC's made a difference why are al...
