Record Cleaning Machine ~ Ultrasonic vs. Rest
I bought a first generation Nitty Gritty back in the late '70s. It's a very effective machine, but rather noisy and messy in operation. It still works, although I only use it on the rare occasion that I need to play a dirty used record. I bought ... 
How to Connect DAC's USB Port to Ethernet Cable
vinylshadow There aren't many but which records were mastered in 24/96? 24/96 is pretty much the minimum resolution used by digital recording pros today. I don't know where you got the idea that pros use 16./44.1, which is a consumer format.

Furutech Nanoflux speaker cables
stephenjfoster I simply try to sort out the sensible folks from the delusional and stopped going to church when I was 18. I pretty much read these topics for laughs and to figure out who to ignore. So you're a self-confessed troll.  
Audible Illusions Modulus 3A troubles
I would just return it. You've confused input and output impedance with sensitivity, btw.  
Reasonably priced preamplifier
atmasphere ... keep in mind that not all 'high end audio' preamps that are balanced actually support the balanced line standard ... That's true, although such balanced components still offer advantages over single ended designs.  
DSD coming to Qobuz streaming?
iseland ... looking even more for qobuz connect ... That has been a long time in gestation.  
Home network router question
nigeltheflash Networked audio is one of those unusual areas in which you’re really not better off solving a problem at its source; it’s better to address noise as close to the streamer as possible. Hmmmm, I’m not sure I follow your logic there...
