Add Chord Cutest (DAC) to Bluesound Node or purchase HiFi Rose RS150BDAC
+1 regarding the Cutest being overpriced and over rated. Have you considered the Eversolo DMP-A8? I recently ordered one (expecting it Friday) as an upgrade from the DMP-A6. I am very impressed with the Eversolo and going all in. The UI on the Eve...

@carlsbad2 and @p05129 I knew there would likely be those that would respond as the two of you did with personal attacks because you likely see yourselves in what is being presented in the article. I feel sorry for you too.You have no idea my lev...

DAC upgrade
@mojo771 www.vinshine.audio is the US Denafrips distributor. Alvin Chee is the owner and one of the nicest and most honest guys in audio. Also consider the used market Denafrips units are rock solid.  
DAC upgrade
+1 regarding the Denafrips dacs but there is something else you may want to consider...You have a golden oppurtunity right now to hit two cans with one rock. Seriously consider a decent streamer dac combo the Node is an ok streamer (in its day) bu...

Integrated power for KEF R3 Meta

ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?
@ticat Please do take my comment above to be directed at you personally, it is a generalization. I apologize if it comes off that way.  
ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?
@ticat Thats because we are real men telling it like it is, there is nothing subjective about simply being respectful of others. Additionally the offenders (many are serial posters/commenters) may recognize themselves and have nothing to bring to ... 
ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?
@uncledemp I agree with your theory 100%. The man boys that come at folks in most cases for no reason other than offering an opinion or choice of purchase with nasty,snarky remarks would never do that to another mans face. I can only deduce these ...
