Dynaudio Contour 20 impressions
I have heard the Endeavor E-3 at the Axpona last year. I loved them. I recommend Axpona as a great way to audition tons of gear. 
My personal experience with Direct Drive versus Belt Drive
I'm looking forward to reading insight from more audiophiles. I am looking to buy a turntable and need some guidance.  
Older DAC connection to my Macbook??
I haven't bought the Esoteric gear. I don't believe I want to get into having an extra adapter just to connect it.  
No playback from my MacBook Pro to Bricasti M1
Go into system preferences and then 'sound'. I hope it helps.

Your Macbook Pro probably reset to the external speakers. It happened to me a long time ago. If I remember you go into the Macbook audio settings and set it appropriately. 
Older DAC connection to my Macbook??
I have a pretty nice rig. Parasound JC-1's with JC-2 preamp. I have an Exogal Comet plus DAC and Salk Song 3 speakers. My Arcam FMJ cd 23 cd player is getting up there in age so I saw an Esoteric transport and Dac for sale on here. The Esoteric st... 
Older DAC connection to my Macbook??
Thank you for the replies. The last one seems the most likely. I guess that's why those Dac prices seem to drop so much. Features and current connections are very important. 
Older DAC connection to my Macbook??

Salk VS Monitor Audio
I have had the Song3's for a couple weeks. I'm still breaking them in but I think they are an excellent speaker. I cannot say if the are better than what you have. I am using Parasound JC-1 mono amps, JC-2 BP preamp, Exogal Comet Plus DAC in addit... 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
I laugh when guys on here tell you that you must audition and compare. I've never felt comfortable enough to spend more than 15 minutes in one of these places. Audio Advisor is a dealer that will treat you very nicely.  
Getting good sound from MacBook via DAC.
When some of you reference ’losing’ iTunes, does ’Roon’ fit the bill instead of JRiver Etc.?  
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
I heard the Endeavor speakers at Axpona and they were fantastic. Powered by all Audio Alchemy gear. The Triton ones are great also. 
An all Parasound system - Good idea?
I'm surprised more people don't use the same thought process. I use the JC-1's with the JC-2 because it just seemed to be the smart thing to do. Lol. Surprisingly they work well together.
