Meitner MA3i DAC Review
@sfpeloton I just got it on Tuesday earlier this week. I have about 70hrs of play time on it. Preliminary results are positive but I will hold off on jumping to conclusions at this time as I can still notice changes in how it sounds. It’s going th... 
Meitner MA3i DAC Review
@buzz cool. I don’t think it’s of any use because screensaver kicks in after two mins and you have whatever roon remote you use where this info is displayed. So if it was removed to reduce noise I’m all for it!!!  
seeking pure streamer.....Aurender A1000 vs N150 as a streamer only?
Then get n200 if you like to rotate dacs. Why waste money on A200 that’s most likely inferior to N200 as pure streamer when you swap dacs.

N200 USB is superior to its coax out. If you have a dac with excellent USB circuitry and good clock then use USB.  As to A200 vs N200 - no they’re not the same and A200 is not N200 with a free dac.  Here is N200 And A200 below  
Meitner MA3i DAC Review
Never mind checked the manual and got my answer - track information will not be displayed on screen while connected to Roon  Strange but OK. I can’t read it from my listening chair anyway      
Meitner MA3i DAC Review
Is the feature that was available with the original MA3 where a Roon track info was displayed on the DAC screen now gone in the MA3i?  
Finally! I Made An Informed Choice
@nubiann congrats! I highly recommend you try Roon though. Lumin UI is pretty bad. Compare sound quality between using lumin as roon end point vs lumin native app vs tidal connect or qobuz connect. If I’m not mistaken the latest roon update or fe... 
Pass Labs XA-25 vs XA-30.8 amplifier
Pass stuff is super reliable. They also have exemplary customer service. I wouldn’t worry about warranty.   
Pass Labs XA-25 vs XA-30.8 amplifier
I’ll start by saying I am not familiar with your speakers and I never heard XA-25.  I owned XA-30.8 and upgraded to X260.8 mono amps.  I used XA-30.8 with Martin Logan Montis and Wilson Sabrina speakers. Preamps were XP-12 and XP-22.  I can charac... 
Network Switches
@lalitk you are correct I only tried the original Eno streaming system.  
Network Switches
@sns good post. CD rips on SSD mounted inside my streamer (AAIF, FLAC) is what I use for comparison as well but once again we’re potentially comparing 🍏 and 🍊 as we just don’t know if we’re streaming the same master from Tidal and Qobuz. In most c... 
Network Switches
Also, a respected dealer/ friend who used to sell Network Acoustics products found them to compress dynamics in his system.  As much as he enjoyed working with them he ultimately stopped carrying their products.  Has anyone had a similar experien... 
Looking for new speaker cables
Audience FrontRow are excellent cables. I used to own AU24sx and thought it was hard to beat but the FrontRow proved me wrong.   
Revelation Audio Labs (RAL) - Buyers Beware!
@ozon8r if you paid via PayPal goods and services or credit card you can file a dispute. If you wired cash you are probably out of luck.   
Looking for a new power amp - choosing between T + A, Atoll, Rogue
If you want affordable tube amp, Rogue ST100 on a used market is a bargain. If you want good solid state amp, look into Coda no.8
