| DAC Option in Modwright LS-100 The Modwright LS100 is a really nice piece. I've heard some really expensive systems and mine has not been embarrassed by any of them with the LS100 at the heart of the system. | |
| Streamers and bit rot. Electronic devices that are still relevant five or ten years after purchase are the exception, not the norm. Look at mobile phones, TV's, surround sound processors, tablets, PCs, GPS units in cars, etc., etc. It's great that I have some audio co... | |
| Streamer opinion.. Pease comment on validity. There aren't that many streamer only devices with no DAC, so it's not easy to compare different streamers into the same DAC. What I have done is compared the sound of the Bluesound Node 2 with its internal DAC to using my Sony TA-ZH1ES headphone ... | |

| DAC Option in Modwright LS-100 I guess I had read about the DAC in the LS100 at some point. Seeing that the design is 5 years old, I think I'd be inclined to get an external DAC if I was in your shoes. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Squarepusher - Be Up A Hello, Qobuz hi-res. I'm not sure this is really my cup of tea. | |

| Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly? I grew up on a lot of the same stuff plus a healthy dose of Def Leppard, Judas Priest, AC/DC and a few others. All this talk about Styx reminds me of taking a bus to one of our high school football team's playoff games. Come Sail Away came over ... | |
| Question about Marantz Price If it has the Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge in good condition, then yes. If some other lesser cartridge has been put on the table, then maybe not (the Virtuoso is an $800 cartridge). | |

| Smooth sounding integrated You might be able to find a second hand Peachtree Nova 150 or 300 for around your budget. It should match up well with your speakers. Plenty of power, a great DAC, a decent phono stage, and home theater bypass. |
