Problems with lost Qobus Playlists?
I lost 6 of my playlists on Qobuz about a month ago.  I have no idea how it happened.   I called Qobuz and was told they can’t retrieve them.  I had 200 songs on each playlist, so I lost 1200 songs.  I  was frustrated, and sort of worrisome that i...

There is also a sigma X QR, that is supposed to be better than the Omega.  
Compare B&W 804 D2 to D3 speakers
i have the B&W 802d3 speakers and love them.  You just need to make sure you have a good, strong amp.  However, B&W speakers are not well liked on this site and you won’t find many positive comments about them.   
Qobuz
Thanks everyone.  Qobuz says they are gone and can’t be recovered.  I know I did not delete them.  6 playlists with about 200 tracks each, or 1200.  Bummer for me.

Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric

REL vs JL AUDIO
I had to ship my F 113 back to the factory twice for repairs, within a year apart. Then, 60 days later, it stopped working again. Needless to say, I was so disgusted with the JL Audio and sent it back for the third time. To their credit, however, ... 
Anyone listen to entire albums?
I do both. I have thousands of songs on my diverse playlists. It’s like listening to the radio (well…. Better SQ) except every song is one I like (since I put it there). But I do enjoy listening to my favorite albums from start to finish.  
What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.
@calvinj Yes, the Esoteric N01XD SE is amazing.  I upgraded from the prior XD.  I would rank it up there with the $40k DSC model.
