Maxima95, this thread addressed the concern about connecting SM assemblies to a class D amp. See above taras22 post regarding Red Dragon amps. No issues.

If the outlets improve power line issues, then no, you’re not crickets.  
$10k Speaker Cables??????????????
Folks complain about pricing of everything, so it seems like we don’t need threads like this. But folks like complaining, so be it. Did we learn anything from this group cathartic event?And how much is too much for any given aspect of an audio sys... 
Manhattan vs Brooklyn
Good question. The Brooklyn DAC+ has a dedicated phono board and ESS Sabre 9028 chip set, while the Manhattan II has a redesigned main board fitted with ESS Sabre 9038 chip set. I presume the Manhattan II likely has better SQ due to the redesigned...

Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment?
