MoFi controversy
@theaudioamp Sony's original intention for DSD use (regardless who invented it) was to Archive master tape recordings first. Yes, DSD was also thought to be a viable consumer file format as well.

@theaudioamp i agree with you. There are many digital recording methods. 24/96 will capture everything that is on an analog tape. Sony invented DSD to be an archive format

I'm guessing the site will be complete soon. The Washington Post is getting ready to drop a story on this and MoFi will want all their ducks in a row when that happens

@mammothguy54 Mofi has been updating the albums on their site with analog or DSD sources little by little. I'd say within a few days all the albums (future, past, and present) will be updated.

@big_greg 90% of people who purchased one steps did so believing they were buying an all analog “ chain” record. Regardless what sounds best, MoFi was well aware of this, thus avoiding any mention of dsd in their literature.    Regardless of what...

I'm a huge digital fan. I have tons of SACDs and Digital Hi-rez files. I'm also a vinyl collector. I think MoFi is now doing the right thing and all should be good.  MoFi can change the narrative about digital since so many find their versions of...

A couple of thoughts: 1. This is about misleading marketing practices...not which one sounds the best. A One Step could be made from an 8-track tape dub and may be the best sounding ever. However, the box needs to say the source and signal chain ...

I think Suncoast still has one   
What next after Lumin T2
I hear a T3 is around the corner  
What next after Lumin T2
One good thing about the T2 is you can just use it as a streamer and add another Dac. Streaming-wise, I'm guessing you will not find anything much better. You now can focus on finding the right dac.  
Torus vs AudioQuest Niagara
I have the Taurus Tot with surge protection. FANTASTIC!!! Talk to Taylor at Goldprint Audio.   
Hifi Rose RS150B
If it's better than the D2, then it's at least on par with the T2 which is a good thing. Keep us posted as it breaks in more :)  
My thoughts on the HiFi Rose 150B
I have yet to see somebody compare the HFR to a Lumin T2 audio-wise. With touch screens, video, etc...I wonder if audio is compromised to keep the unit at a certain price point. Myself, all the bells and whistles are not needed.  
Hifi Rose RS150B
Congrats. My only fear with the HIFI Rose is for $5k you are in the Lumin T2 area of price. With the HFR bells and whistles (screens, etc), is the audio portion compromised a bit to keep cost In line? I would love a comparison
