Focal Sopra 2’s vs. Legacy Focus SE’s
Hi i ended up going with PBN Audio M1!5 PBN you ask? Well I have to say Peter is the owner and manufacturer with an incredibly talented in many ways.  He should be considered for any audio needs.   I do not get paid to praise PBN but once you ex... 
jitter
I currently have Gustard x26 pro DAC with built in jitter control. Gustard brags about their external clock which is almost the price of the DAC. Is there any need for that and will it enhance the sound quality in any way, even if Im not experienc... 
dac and streamer or seperates
No long winded answer here. Separates 100% im not going to recommend anything nor will I push my system on you like most do. I will say I was where you were a year ago and switched to separates. Huge improvement

What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under
You have to look at PBN.  California custom speaker builder.  Petter is a genius and has been awarded many times for his work.  The M series is insane.  I just got lucky enough to get a pair. M1!  (2) 12 and a horn.  Amazing   
Loudspeakers with horn or ceramic tweeter?
Ok so I have (like most of us) had many traditional speakers with some tweeters….. My friend has a pair of PBN “M” series. They have a horn and after experiencing the sound dimensions the horn produces I ordered a pair.  I have to say everything i... 
How cam Morrow Audio keep offering 45%-65% discounts for trade-ups?
Marrow speaker cables are an excellent value.   My friend gave me a pair to demo and then I waited for the 65% off sale.  My only gripe would be …. If they are always 50-60% off all the time then just price them that way and have less “sales”.  Th... 
What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first?
Anything from Peter at PBN is always a winner. Absolutely amazing sounds all lines  
DAC Under $3000
I like Gustard for under $2000  
Best quality connection from Network Streamer (BluSound Node II) to Preamp (MC C2700)
I’ll agree as well regarding a stand alone DAC. For now I’d say the digital coax should be your best result. I had the Bluesound and that was my choice of connection.   I have a Gustard DAC now.  I see a lot of posts about the Denafrips Pontus 12t... 
user poll on seperates vs integrated
There is no comparison… separates are better.  if price is an issue take a look at Parrasound.  Great value there   
Parasound to Pass Upgrade
Lots of talk about “heat” and “warm”. Really?… Decent amps have heat and if you don’t think they do then they’re junk. Anyway I’ve had Parasound amps and love them.  They’re warm and quite subtle but consistent and priced well below their potentia... 
Can anyone recommend a set of outdoor speakers?
I had Bose 251s for 10 years outside with no issues ever. The have a nice mounting bracket also for in a soffit or wall mount https://www.bose.com/en_us/products/speakers/stereo_speakers/251-environmental-speakers.html#v=251_black  
Down to 2 choices Canton Refrence 3K or Revel F328Be
Thanks dweller. I’ll do a peal at them   
Dac: Old vs New
Tonyjack   I'm a fan of Gustard for fairly inexpensive DAC's. I have one and love it There is a 22x pro listed for a good price. It offers a lot for the money and right in your budget
