Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist?
The Aurender N100 is the one without the DAC I believe. 
Audioquest NIghthawk cables
It turned out to be my Dragonfly Red which had a problem. They sent me a new one after sending it back. Audioquest gets an A+. 
Audioquest NIghthawk cables
It turns out that the Dragonfly Red has a bad connection. I sent it back. Their customer service was fantastic. 
Devialet Expert Long Term Experience?
I definitely will pursue some different cables soon. Any suggestions? @leeagc @jetter  That is what I was getting at. The Parasound gear was fantastic. I have a space issue because my setup is in the living room. I am very pleased with the Deviale... 
Endeavor Audio E3 owners
I heard them at Axpona last year with Audio Alchemy and they were really good. I never hear much about them though.  
Devialet Expert Long Term Experience?
My previous setup is Parasound JC 1 monos with JC-2 pre and an Exogal Comet plus Dac. i can't say my Devialet 400 blows it away. I can say they are pretty equal. I guess long term I will have a better answer. I can say that I am happy to make the ... 
Devialet Expert Long Term Experience?
I just bought The 400 a couple weeks ago. I haven't noticed a degradation of sound after a few hours. The only complaint I really have is that their instructions on the website could be clearer. I haven't been able to get the wireless streaming go... 
Music you found on Tidal
I don't think Seger streams anywhere but I could be wrong. He was one of the last iTunes holdouts. I love Tidal but it drops out so often that I might get rid of it. 
Sonus Faber Olympica II Speakers vs. something else?
I have heard the Sabrina and liked it a lot but it sounds like you're happy. You have a nice system. i have mine in the living room also. I think we want it to sound like the dedicated, treated rooms at the audio stores but it may not be realistic... 
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. 
No playback from my MacBook Pro to Bricasti M1
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...
