| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? Inakustik Pure Silver (not copper version) USB cable, a transformational cable. | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma Have a demo of Aries Cerat Preamp and DAC at Axpona next year. This might work for you. | |
| Are all streamers the same? No, they are not the same. | |
| Preamp or DAC @backdoor With your $12k - 15k budget, get a used Aries Cerat Incito S preampfifier or Helene DAC. Either unit will greatly transform your system and it’s worth every penny. It’s just extremely hard to find a used / demo unit in the market. | |
| A nightmare regarding streaming? @fastfreight How do you export a Roon playlist to PDF? Thanks | |
| ReL Subs: High Level or Low Level connection I connect using high level with Neutrik SpeakOn connectors which are recommended by REL, never look back. | |

| Quandary The $300 fee is ridiculous regardless. Doesn’t seem like someone I would want to deal with. In addition, it doesn’t make sense that you demo one model and buy a different model for your system 🤔. This is like you test drive a BMW 7 series and buy ... | |

| How many monthly kilowatt hours, including hi-fi, do you use? 1200 kWh including EV charging last month. For the same month a few years ago without an EV charging, I used 200 kWh. I don't know how many kWh were attributed by using the audio system, but I don't care. I turn on and listen anyway. | |
