Thought I’d share: Nicely done and practical DAC review
Count me as a fan as well. Sad that he’s going to slow way down soon for health reasons.  
Zavfino OCC SILVER DART 1.5 power cable
Thanks @cleeds It’s sad when a member has to shoot his mouth off over and over, without adding anything constructive.  
Flat Screen Television behind speakers
Yep, I have a quilt on mine. Pull it off when we want to watch a movie and back on when I want to listen to music. All the best.  
Whats playing on your system today?

Streamer issues
@vaejoviscarolinanus Are you using Airplay?  
Streamer matching to system
@matt_mccloat  Do you like the Bluesound software? I have the new N130 and replaced the power supply with a linear power supply and am running it into a Denafrips Pontus ll. The better DAC made a huge difference as you might have guessed and the ... 
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll

Hi-fi installation in a cave?
