Too many choices for R2R DACS--opinions appreciated
Used Mojo Mystique' 3 is probably 3-3.5K....... if found.  Quite musical and dynamic with a very complete soundstage.  
objective vs. subjective rabbit hole
To the point of specs, F-1 engine 1.6 ltr. displacement engine produces between 600-1,000 hp.  Cannot find anything even near that kind of hp with 1.6 ltr. engine from any manufacturer.  All about proper design and engineering.  Very expensive des...

No streaming….yet.  Not adverse, just not.  
ATC SCM 50A active towers review
admranger   At this very moment I am listening to my ‘old’ ATC 40As at my friend’s house in Port Angeles, WA.  I hauled them over and gifted them as I’ve the 50As now.  The ATC 40As replaced his ATC 19As which he admits are nice, but really no com... 
Weiss 501 DAC
admranger  Not in the least is the Weiss 501 analytical.  It is simply magical in its ability to organize the whole affair.  As far as budget, I cannot speak to anyone’s financial affairs.   I will submit that purchasing once with great satisfact... 
Go Ahead and Laugh at Me
Doesn't anybody beta test anything anymore?  I know, it's expensive and time consuming.........and works!  
Art Pepper fans out there?
Art Pepper + Eleven K2 version is pretty scary.  Nice dynamics.  
Well mastered Compact Disks
Pretty much anything by FIM, Opus 3, 3 Blind Mice, Telarc and XRCD.  There are others.  
Naim Core music library backup. Help!!!!!!!!!! Not a techno guy, not an idiot.
I sense a common theme.  Thanks everyone for responses.  It's the horse I'm on, so be it.  It does sound great, just the backup thing is driving me a bit nuts.  I feel as if used simply loaded and for listening, it is great.  Otherwise, challengin... 
Your thoughts on my quest for new speakers

425 miles from the dealer.  I hear you.  British companies seem oft detached from American market reality.  I've Sugden pieces, customer service non-existent.  Rega works.  Thanks for insight.  
First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s
The room has wall to wall carpet and pad on the floor and when  I first received the Reference 5’s, they sounded flat. I put small hardwood flooring samples under them and it helped a little. Did not understand oak flooring under the carpet, assu...

After a fourth try, and having done nothing differently, the Samsung SSD backup now says that 41,575 files have transferred.  We'll see.  Still would appreciate any input.  Thanks

I can try the non Apple format.  Naim support online is kind of brief and not helpful to me.  Thanks for response.  
Is it good to upgrade the crossovers in your speakers?
I've upgraded crossovers on a dozen pairs of speakers.  Never spent more than $200 total for caps and wiring, sometimes Mortite packing.  The $200 went into a pair of Epos 14.  Every speaker was a success and fun to do.  Never changed any of the c...
