Perfect Path "Solutions" (PPS) eMat
Thanks all.  Much appreciated.  And if you wanted to help out in any other ways, I'd be really happy if you felt like buying my house! Walking distance to over 100 bars and restaurants and two of the major indoor music venues in Denver, 1.5 miles ... 
Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?"
Interesting.  Thanks so much for the information.  I've been slowly working on a conspiracy theory that I prefer equipment with a 2nd harmonic distortion profile.  You can read about Nelson Pass's experience with 2nd vs. 3rd dominate equipment.  H...

@tomic601 Thanks Jim, I appreciate it.  Everyone suffers intensely in this life and learns to live with it in their own way.  So unfortunate that there's so much pain out there.  At least we've got music.

@rareace  Interesting. I have the Mojo on my radar. Could you tell me more about the comparison? (and the models you have/had on hand)

Have you been told yet today cal3713?So many condescending people in this thread but I am your target. You need a life and some perspective and perhaps a lesson in objectivity. @audio2designIndeed, I definitely need a life.  After my best frien... 
Benefit of a Newer (Used) DAC - "Bang for the Buck?"
@rareace I think it's going to come down to personal preference (and system/ears) as both dacs are outstanding in their own way.  I kept the Audio Mirror T3-SE because it provides the most real, natural, 3-dimensional sounding image I've heard in ...

PPT did not make "graphene", they incorporated graphene into a carrier/solvent. They didn’t have a graphene formula, they had a formula for a carrier/binder used in the contact enhancer. They would have bought the graphene. Judicial use under the ... 
Pops when streaming
Just to be clear, this is not a normal outcome.  Sounds to me like you've got a faulty streamer.  I'd return and switch brands (or at least get a replacement).Streaming lets you hear so much new music.  If you're really a music lover, the benefit ... 
Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60
I love the two completely opposite reviews from two people who've tried both head-to-head... and both with efficient speakers to boot.  Just goes to show that you've got to hear equipment in your system, with your ears, to truly know what you'll p... 
Innuos: A Cautionary Tale.
@fuzztone  Agreed.  I bought a second hand Mano and Magna dealt with my issue promptly and professionally.   
Pops when streaming
Seems like if that reduced the popping, maybe the issue is that you've got a bad clock signal that's causing timing issues in the dac.  Would be nice if you could borrow a reclocker (or jitter reducer) to see if that fully eliminated the problem.
