How To Connect a DAC?
The 3 has digital coax and USB outputs. USB is new with the 3 and will work as both an in and a output. The RCA’s, Optical or the XLR’s are the analog outputs that go to your amp. All the best.  
Which Solid State amplifier would you recommend for my budget?
I have only used tube amps with Acoustats. I currently have their Servo amps that have been modded, but still put out 40 watts each and that’s more than enough! All the best.  
Instruments that shine in your system
For me, it’s not just one. But listening to the Bill Evans Trio, makes my system shine.  
Whats playing on your system today?
Woodstock 50th-Back To The Garden, Anniversary Collection. Three full CD’s of the music from Woodstock and some more of the announcements. “Stay away from the “Brown Acid”. It’s not very good.

@lalitk  listening to Inventions & Dimensions now. Don’t know how I missed this album. Thanks for the tip!  
I need an Audio Detective
 If I may ask, Denafrips recommends you leave your DAC on all the time. Why do you turn it off?  
Nobsound springs - load range
Thanks @noromance ​​@ghdprentice  Today I set up the springs with 5 in each and put them under the feet on the Hegel and listened for a few hours. Tomorrow I’ll move them off the feet and give them a few hours.

Is blasphemous Music ok?

Rhodium...hmmm
Rhodium Is super hard and seemed to scratch up the receiving plugs. Not a fan!  
Neutral Dac?
While I haven’t listened to every DAC ever made, every DAC I’ve heard has flavored the sound. Having say that, having not been in the studio with the mixing engineer, I have little idea what most music is supposed to  sound like.  
What Gear Has Disappointed You?
I can’t really say any of the equipment I’ve bought has disappointed me, but I am disappointed with how every engineer mixes tunes differently so sometimes my subwoofer sounds perfect and sometimes I have to shut it off or at least turn it down! B... 
What is this Beatles UHQR Collection?
I bet they sound great. To bad I’ve gone digital.  But I have purchased all the Giles Martin remastered/remixed Beatles albums and I am impressed with all of them!
