Are Innuos about to lunch new models?
BTW,how about a beedy eyed editor doing an A+ job on the headline for this thread?

Industrial, Mk2 rather than Mk3. It seems the earlier version is better for audio purposes

Very happy with the Zenith Mk3. While you may upgrade the clocking at the Zenith level, it is actually more powerful to update the Dac‘s clock since under USB the Dac slaves the server. What would be nice would be a Mk4 with 10m BNC input, though.... 
Lumin D2 - Late the Table
@nekoaudio,mine happily supplies 802.11n. Yours must be really old.... 
How it works! From a common man.
@oldhvymec,admirable in every way! 
Best Interconnect with Step Up Transformer
Auditorium23, they build SUT and matching cables and know what they are doing 
Cables for Leben/Devore- Nordost?
I use A23 between my Antelope Zodiac Platinum and Wavac Ec300b as well as A23 speaker cable to my Duevel Bella Lunas. I use Nordost Valhalla power cables on both units but find the A23 signal cables nimbler and more transparent, especially with re... 
Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC
Analogue sound from a dac requires superior clocking. Whatever you do, get a dac with a 10m BNC clock input. The cheapest 10m clocks can be had on Alibaba for $100. Seriously, it‘s the single most important factor in choosing a dac. 
High end stereo preamps? Worth it?
This threat is unneccesarily long: assuming no highly unusual impedance miss match there is no conceivable reason for a separate preamp in a digital reproduction chain: additional cabling and circuits for no gain (pardon the pun)

Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp )
I find the whole debate in this thread a bit specious. Passives don‘t do balanced and yet: I‘d take a Wavac ATT-s plus EC300b over any balanced amp provided you got sufficiently efficient speakers. Prior to the Wavac I was running a Graaf combo of... 
Audiogon Anti-Lowball Offer setting
@bubba12,don‘t agree, sometimes no answer is the best response 
High end stereo preamps? Worth it?
@emergingsoul,if you must have a preamp, look at a used Graaf 13.5b II. at least you‘ll have a balanced connection to the amp out of it. it still won‘t get you remote control, though.i 
HELP! Streaming to my old school audiophile system
I‘d suggest a streaming DAC from Auralic or Lumin, straight into your preamp via RCA and you are off to the races 
Comparing Amp Stands and Racks from Adona, EdenSound, and Symposium
Symposium or Gingko Audio, great results with both. Syposium is best under speakers, Gingko under amps, digital and turntables
