Thinking of changing things up. Need advice on DAC/Streamers

@hilde45  I just listened to my original CD of Katy Lied and the newest HD version I could find on Qobuz and there are a ton of differences.  And that’s just what most of them are, differences.  I really didn’t find most of the differences an imp...
