| Digital tweaks or upgrades that do work and also have a polished slab of granite which makes a outstanding anti vibration pieceI commend you for the tweaks which have brought out the best in your streamer. My 1st efforts in tweaks was with footers. And I studied various materials. I a... | |

| Could The Music Room biz model be duplicated? A second TMR? Anyone remember Jeff's Sound Values. There have been others in the past. And there are others today, as has been pointed out. | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? Thanks @cleeds I assume this is HD FLAC streaming? Still I have plenty of music on the HD. I'll get the streamer working but its frustrated me to the point that I had to walk away for a while. | |
| Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners? If you are renting your music from Qubuz, etc @ $20 mo.(for now) then streaming MAY be the better route with a good dac. However, IME playing your own music from a HD is ripe with problem usually due to network and software issues.I have 200mbps i... |
