Why were the Shunyata Venom NR V10 / V12 Power Cables Discontinued?
I believe that Gamma NR/XC has replaced Venom NR/XC, and Theta has replaced Delta.

@solarjam Great feedback, thanks.  I assume your friend's unit has over 100 hours on it by now? I'm at the point where I don't know what I want.  Row 5 or row 30? More attack or less?  Wider or narrower soundstage? Ugh.  I guess I will know what ...

@danager  Understand that no volume control is a no-go for your current set-up, but for those of us with more "traditional" audio systems, adding volume control to a DAC adds cost and another potential failure point in the unit.

@wengfai Thank you for introducing yourself.  Congratulations on the start-up of your new company and the success of the Harmony.  We appreciate the status update.  I see you have other products in development.  I'm looking forward to the introduc...

@koestner Thanks for sharing your success story.  A 4 day delivery on the replacement board is indeed impressive.  I agree, I would much rather perform the repair myself than wait months for the unit to be repaired and returned. @ervikingo Apprec...

@solarjam Interesting that they are sending him a new board with instructions as opposed to having him return under warranty.  Advantage of modular design.  I guess I am ok with that, and definitely ok with their prompt response.  Please keep us p... 
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
@tds3371 Me as well.

@kclone I wish I would have known that yesterday morning before reading the first 20 pages - aargh. @pynkfloydd Thanks for the input.  I agree with you and am impressed by Laiv's professionalism. I wrote them on a Saturday night, and had a respon...

@kclone Headfi eluded my Google search.  27 pages, yikes.  Lots of volume but not much content.  One interesting blurb though on comparison to Holo Spring 3. @smweber2 Great you were able to demo a friends unit in your system.  Now you know what ... 
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
@vthokie83 If you were not using the Iris, would you still prefer Pontus to Venus with your system?  
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
@soix  Yes, I have noticed the Pontus - Iris buzz as well, but since my current streamer does not feature USB, it would not benefit me at this time.  
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
@painter24  May I ask why you chose Pontus vs Venus?  Was it purely $?  I have asked Vinshine for guidance based on my system, but no reply.  I do believe that there is a point of no return.  
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?
Does anyone know if there will be a Venus 15th in the near future?  There is no mention of it on the Denafrips website.  
Thoughts on the Peachtree Nova 300
I don't know if it is the best you can do, but yes, allot of bang for the buck. Good DAC, and amp provides plenty of detail.  Mine gets a tad bit harsh as the volume increases in my main system, so I moved it to my office system where it works wel... 
Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player
@arnold_h  Thanks for your input regarding using the 205 as preamp.  I will be retiring my AVR soon and plan to replace with 7-channel amplification in one configuration or another.  I'm planning to use my 205 as the preamp until either lack of e...
