@hilde45 I just watched your youtube review of the Carbon 7's outstanding job detailed and honest. It's nice when you see/experince an actual human that posts on these forums. What I appreciated most is you've actually had the gear in your home an... 
Sub $1000 DAC with AKM chip
Having 4 kids of my own I think you may want to approach this from an additional angle. What genre of music does SHE primarily listen to pop electronica R&B rock accoustic? Many believe ESS or AKM will sound bright or warm below 1K that is for... 
Mid-Fi, Hi-Fi or.....?
I’m old enough to remember my mom or dad telling me to "turn off the Hi Fi and do your homework"...the device(s) was a Philco and later Magnavox console tv, phono,radio furniture piece. Amazing how folks need to mind puck simple things. The funny ... 
New streamer
Congratulations on finding gear you believe will suit your needs. These streamer threads are really heating up and my guess is will continue to do as more and more folk who love vinyl (As I do) are finding we are not missing anything via quality s... 
New streamer
The most important thing I’ve learned about being in love with audio is you’re gonna have to kiss a bunch of toads to find what works for you. Yes there are some brands that excel at what they do and consideration should start there but once you w... 
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...

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... 
Impulsive drive to buy the EverSolo dmp-A8 or should I wait ? That is the question.
The Eversolo is talked about so much because it truly is an outstanding value. I recieved a DMP A6 as a christmas gift and cannot beleive the SQ from the base edition,in fact I am considering upgrading to the A8 because I am so impressed with the ... 
Is there such a thing as a good medium priced music streamer?
