Streamer for LTA Aero
+1 @tump350 I will also add that it’s critical to have the network components at least 1m way from cables and system components. Minimize EMI/RFI.   
System assessment...
@larseand it depends what your objective is.  You can improve the sound of your system or add a streamer and gain access to  pretty much unlimited music library. Or do both. Depends on your budget.    You have an amazing CD transport and a weak l... 
Burmester 218.....
how can an amplifier sound great when you got buzzing going?   it can’t. However, a properly working unit may sound really good. Don’t know how it stands up to the newest SimAudio.  For 50 large I would pick up a used Boulder 2160 though.  As... 
Burmester 218.....
Two 218s and both buzzing according to the stereophile review. That would piss me off. If yours works fine and you love the sound, enjoy it!  
I need a little help from a UK, German, Greek or Israel member.
Sounds like you are looking to get scammed. Very persistent at it too.  What’s the item…just curious.   
Eversolo, can I do better?
Yes. This Innuous Zenith Mk2 on TMR  
Do you have a perfect digital marriage?
Happy with my Aurender N200 streamer paired with Bricasti M3 DAC. Is it a perfect combo? There’s always something better but I’m satisfied for now. Sold my analog setup - it made no sense ti keep it as it wasn’t going to be used when a digital fro... 
Happy Thanksgiving!
Amen to that! Happy Thanksgiving!  
Sound Upgrade from a Bryston Bdp-3
@hiend2 I would use AES with Jay’s and USB between BDP and BDA. Try a good USB cable before you switch streamers. Also a good power cord is essential with BDA-3.     FWIW I ran Lumin U1 Mini with BDA-3 via USB. Tried AES but still preferred USB. ... 
Luxman JPA15000 power cord?
@immatthewj I wouldn’t talk you out of buying a good power cord but that’s just ain’t it. So you’re welcome!!! All…enjoy your Thanksgiving!!!  
Luxman JPA15000 power cord?
@jafant thank you! Yes that cabling mix struck a good balance in my system. As to f3, I ended up selling my Pass Labs X260.8 mono blocks and sold the Audience f3 cords I used with them. I still regard the f3 as a tremendous value especially when... 
CD player recommendation with good built in dac under 1k new or used? please and thanks
Can you get a transport and use your current DAC? If so, Audiolab 6000CDT and Cambridge CXC v2 are very good budget transports.    In budget CD players I would look into Rotel, Marantz, may be a used Rega.

@magon you step on the rake and it smacks you in your forehead. You believe that’s not really supposed to happen…I have to try it again…and so you do for a total of 4 times. Your stick-to-itiveness is truly admiring.    I've listened to some exp... 
Sound Upgrade from a Bryston Bdp-3
What connection are you using between BDP and BDA? And what brand/model cable?   
??? Full Loom vs Mix ???
I use Nordost Tyr 2 XLR, Frey 2 power cords on DAC and amp, Heimdall 2 power cord on a streamer.  Speaker cables are Audience FrontRow. I use AQ Diamond USB and Purist Audio Designs Ethernet 🐈‍⬛ 7 I never had a full loom but got very close with A...
