best floor in listening room
Ah, I think I get it. It's easier to change the system than the wife. Many good monitors out there. Thanks, folks. 
Anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio show??
Agree that Garcia's isn't top-shelf TexMex. Within walking distance, though, very good cocktails and steaks can be had at the Cool River Cafe. Also within a few blocks, is Soundings, which was showing Vienna Acoustics The Music speakers last time ...

Thanks for the suggestions. 
Most overrated audio manufacturers?
To Sounds Real....calling out Elizabeth for cynicism in your post, that ends, "Isn't that what we really want in America? To be told a bunch of lies?" Takes chutzpah.As to the OP, I'd add any manufacturer that charges more than $100 for a meter of... 
DAC doesn't recognize hi-res files
