Wait, what, you can’t hear the differences between great systems at 128 kbs MP3’s through your 1/4” cellphone speakers?? 😉😉😉  
Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps
@soix  Are 20+ year old McCormaks worth the update? And do updated ones ever pop up for sale?

The Good Stuff
@arcticdeth  I can only find Thank you 3 and I’m listening to it now.😃 I’m currently using Amazon Music HD, but plan on trying Tidal and or Qobuz in the New year. Do you know if the rest are on either of them? Oh and thanks for your generous off... 
Improve sound
Another vote for getting a better DAC. I have the N130 and went with a Denafrips.  Also, if you can use the USB instead of the Optical from the Node, you’ll hear a big difference. All the best.

@jeffreyw , I have the big brother to your Reference One’s and they need to be at least 2’ from the front wall and 3’-4’ from the side walls.  I’m not sure how loud you play your tunes, but mine don’t come alive until 60+ dbs. All the best.  
After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be.
Congratulations @ghdprentice  You have a system that inspires me and I’m sure many others!
