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+.

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.

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.
