Clock vs Streamer advice
I don’t have any major grievances with the conductor app. Roon is more advanced in few areas - it slices and dices, consolidates and filters better than the Conductor. It also provides an actual bitrate of the album in the search results as oppose... 
Amp upgrade, speaker cables or both
What is it that you don’t like about the way it all sounds now?  
Aurender Conductor App Question
It shows in both portrait and landscape modes on my iPad, but not on the phone.   
Luxman leaves me wanting
+1 on Pass recommendation.  Int60 should be a nice pairing.   
Fleetwood Sound Company - DeVille Loudspeaker.
I always thought the Devilles were birdhouses. Now I know what they are - they’re dybbuk boxes.

Cable upgrades

I believe so. There’s no going around the noise the laptop generates. Not optimized for streaming. Too many things running, fan, etc. On top of it all, it’s inconvenient. A good streamer should be all you need. If you feel the need to add a reclo...

@deep_333 “forum stock”. That’s rich. No, not a dealer. Just a happy owner of a pair of Wilson Sabrinas. Not sure why it’s surprising to you that a top notch speaker requires world class electronics. Back in late 90s I walked into Innovative Aud...

I wouldn’t bother with the Bricasti streamer. Their DACs are very good though.  Depending on your budget, you can pickup a used Lumin U1 or U2 (the big boy vetsion, not the mini). Or look for a used Aurender N200. With a good USB cable into the Br...
