| Building a house +1 to Russ' comment.Separate electrical circuits. Ethernet of course. Look into "Rockwool" or similar sound insulation techniques and see if that is of interest. | |
| New Klipsch Forte IV I'm hoping we hear more from Forte IV owners, these could be a great option for me with my low-watt amp. | |
| Embarrassed....Audio furniture help I have a West Elm credenza I use, with speaker stands just next to it on either side. TV is on the wall behind it, and tube amp & TT are on top. My wife thinks it looks pretty cool. Maybe if the wiring is minimal your wife would be fine with i... | |
| MQA Dac playing non MQA sources +1 to jjjss above. Not all MQA is equal either. Lots of MQA files are 16/44 so basically CD/FLAC. Some are 24/96, some higher, and a *very* few go all the way to 24 bit / 352 kHz. | |

| Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC I never even put my Node 2i on WiFi. Ethernet only. I agree, much better. | |
| Do different streamers really sound different when using an external DAC I have the Node 2i & a Mytek Brooklyn DAC+. The Node 2i does not need a USB connection to output the MQA file/stream to the Mytek DAC. When properly configured as per the manual, you will see the MQA symbol and the blue or green dot next to it... | |
| For those that use an external DAC with node 2i I added the Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ to my Node 2i, connected via optical cable. The difference was frankly astonishing and immediate. I use Tidal Hi-Fi by the way. Music that previously just sounded good, suddenly sounded real. Soundstage, all those t... | |
| Tube virgin looking for tube amp under $3k Some great suggestions. I'll second the recommendation for the Elekit TU-8600S. |
