| Mytek Brooklyn overkill? I've been really happy with my Mytek Liberty DAC. I haven't compared to the Brooklyn, but I do have an Auralic Vega (3 1/2 times the cost of the Liberty) and a few other DACs to compare it to. The Liberty is very detailed and a bit "analytical",... | |
| What am I missing streaming music with a Node 2i The DAC in the Node 2 is very good considering its price, but connecting the Node 2 to my Auralic Vega takes it to another level. I already had the Vega before I got the Node 2, but I don't consider adding a better DAC to be a "waste". I'm plann... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Ballad of Todd Rundgren. He's a genius. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @uberwaltz That's a good description for the Teal album also. I really enjoyed it. The Santana EP was really nice also, I was wishing there was more when it reached the end. | |

| What area or country do you live in ? Near Olympia, WA I was with some audio enthusiast friends last night and we were talking about some of the companies here in Washington - Modwright, Parks Audio, Carver, Shunyata, Blue Jeans Cable... I'm sure there are more I'm not thinking of. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rick Derringer - All American Boy | |
