New or Old CD Player?
If you are still looking for another CD player. There is one here on audiogon that looks very nice. An old Sony SCD-1. Old but I bet, very good!

High End is Dead?
Tell you what I think. You are a troll who instigates fights for your own amusement. You incite and inflame, for what reason??? As I had pointed out in one of your other senseless posts. Find a hobby that will not start fights.... like badminton o... 
Schiit not that Good?
johhnyb53- Have a look at 213runnin’s post and my last one. 
New to DAC, need advice.
haha!! Thats great! I can send you the Ayre Codex via fedex. Oh wait I dont have one, even for myself to use. I would either try to Pro-Ject and let us all know how it sounds....or save a few bucks and get the Bluesound. But hey don’t forget the M...

“@2psyop I’m streaming Tidal HiFi from my Windows 10 PC to the ZDac via USB then into a Micromega IA-100 integrated. So I’m ok with USB to the Pro-ject. I like the dual mono as well and it’s certainly in my price range. I’m curious about your comm...

Ratboysr- I am wondering about your setup. I think the Project Pre-box S2 will only input a digital audio MQA signal via usb. Optical or coax will not. I don’t know if you are using a computer with Tidal app via USB as a source, but that might be ... 
Bluesound Node 2 as a preamp?
+2 KalaliI have used the Node 2 in various configurations and performs well in some, mediocre in others. I try to remember the price which makes it a “budget” component. Many are using it as a streamer, wired or wireless link to digital library, p...

jond- good question! I don’t think the ZDAC will play MQA or hi-res files. If the OP is not trying to playback redbook quality he might?? be getting problems with the device. Try spotify or other streaming services orbtry Tidal non-hirez material ...

If the price is right, try the Pro-ject DAC box. I like Parasound but the MQA alone makes the Pro-ject better. 
Schiit not that Good?
Yeah you guys trelja and 213runnin- sniffed out the crap from maddivid0. I did not see all the troll posts he had generated. I have a Shiit Bifrost Uber and think those guys do a great job with DACs.But I guess the OP has problems with Anticables,... 
Tidal and Spotify royalties
I had posted this info before that I found somewhere?? Of the streaming sites Tidal is one of the most generous companies as musical artists make about $0.0003 per play. That was info from 2017. Amazing, Napster had top payouts at $0.0167 to $0.... 
Best standalone music server?
I have not had those problems with my setup. But as you stated YMMV and my home wifi network has not dropped out. When I had an analog rig, could never get used to those pops and clicks even with a good vinyl cleaning. With digital, my audio has n... 
Streaming Audio - Yamaha WXC-50
The Yamaha looks very good! No real experience with it but I am a Bluesound Node 2 owner and luv it. Also Sony is in the game. I went with Bluesound cause I heard the customer support was great along with the sound. They help you with setup until ...
