Anyone own the Topping e70 Velvet? I just ordered one
I hooked everything in last night using a balanced connection. Just playing different sample rates, the E70V switched with ease with no clicks or noise. I am using the 5 volt setting. Out of the box the e70V sounds really nice. Compared to my Pro-... 
BS meter is pegged!
How much can a streamer (let alone a $20,000 one) improve a signal coming from a $150 Modem/Router provided by an internet provider?

I've been reading the same. The only higher end dacs I have heard were in much higher end systems than mine. So, is it the DAC, or is it the system? The only way to find out is trying one in my own home system.   
Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series
Can somebody buy the Luxman mat mentioned above and report back? LOL  
HumminGuru vs.Degritter
I'm going to switch from my Noisy, loud Pro-Ject vac to a HG. I have not used the Vac in over a year. For me, who only buys clean records (mostly new) to start, the HG is more than enough.   
Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series
I was reading a post or review where it was said that Luxman sells quite a few TT mats to non Luxman TT owners. I was surprised   https://www.hawthornestereo.com/luxman-pd-171a-turntable-mat.html

Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation
For anything of major value, I always have FEDex or UPS hold at one of their locations. I try to avoid the USPS for expensive items. By looking at this site, one would think the USPS is a giant crime ring   https://postalemployeenetwork.com/news... 
Warm sounding phono cartridge
Anything "bronze" from Ortofon, I think, is a happy medium between detailed and "mushy." I have not heard the Cadenza Bronze. However, the 2m and Quintet Bronze are quite pleasant sounding  
Humminguru record cleaner
@muzikat I thought the HG was pretty much a hit the button and go operation as well?  
Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!
Not to be "that guy". I'm just wondering the actual component and labor cost. I cannot believe its only a 40% markup  
Help me pick some new or used speaker cables
You cannot go wrong    
The $10,000 Question
@jimmyblues1959 I second Quicksilver audio.   
Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds
I have the Class A Luxman -595ase and I love it it. Paired with my ZU Omen Defs, the amp will run you out of the room with loud, super clear volume. I’ve never heard a home amp so clear at loud volumes..   One good thing about most higher qualit...
