Should I Sell My Oppo 203?
Many buy the 103/105 for the ability to 'burn" SACD's with Sonore software (that's what I use mine for). I'm not certain if the 203/205 has that capability.  
DSD vs PCM .. Truth or Myth
wasn't DSD originally developed as a digital Archive file format to archive digital masters? I could have swore I read that in Mix or Sound on Sound magazine a few years back.

Any opinions on Matrix mini-i pro 3 vs. Lumin d2?
I am curious how the Matrix sounds compared to the Pro-Ject s2 mqa dac. I’m debating adding a Pro - Stream box to add to my s2!vs just getting the Matrix which has everything built in. The Matrix should be Roon certified soon.  
Matching JBL and McIntosh
I would guess this would be a fantastic combo. I'm sure back in the day there were plenty of JBL's powered by MC275's Heck the ultimate would be a pair of 275's 
MC275 pair vs single with sensitive speakers

PS Audio BHK 250 - Is it still a good amp?
I highly suggest buying used OR check and see if any old dealers have a demo, old stock, or trade-in. The unfortunate thing about the current BHK, one could get at a huge discount before PSA went direct. Thus, any resale value would be dismal if y... 
Confession of a poor power cord pairing for a Pass Labs XA-25
Hmmmm. I am using a ZU Event Powercord with my FirstWatt J2. Sounds great. This has got me wondering about the original Power cord that came with my J2. It's still in its twisty tie. 
Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable?
It is my forever turntable. I have the 1200GAE and it is killer. I did add a Integrityhifi Tru-Glider Pendulum Tonearm with no modifications needed. Now I will be using the Technics tone arm with a mono cartridge. On the try-glider arm I have a To... 
Recommendation for Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G?
