@lalitk  I am enjoying it very much, but have already found several albums that ain’t there!    
Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed!
I have the N130 and it sounds great. Although the first thing I had to do was turn off the volume control in the app. It made a huge difference in the sound quality. All the best.  
Something on top of a speaker=okay?
No, something small and light won’t make and difference and neither will a little cat and dog hair on the grills.    
PS Audio BHK 600
PS Audio, puts out several levels of equipment. Some I can afford and some I can’t, but all sound pretty darn good. I would love to hear the 600’s. If they are anything like the 300’s, they should sell well for their price point.  
Can you vote on this song, 1 being brilliant, 5 being crap
It’s beautiful. 1.    
Two audio components no one really talks about
I have two systems, the first is in a bad room with some treatments and the second is in an okay room with just a little conditioning. The speakers are different, the amps are different the preamps are different, most of the wires are different, t... 
Why do so many people have problems with bass?
In general I’m pretty happy with my current setup, but I wish there was a way to make album compression more uniform. (I’m not sure if compression is the correct word) So I am a Bill Evans fanboy. A nice simple jazz trio. Piano, drums and upright... 
Shouldn't This Sound Boomy?
@baclagg  Other than that one peak in the 40+ range, yout graphs look pretty good. Question, are your speakers rear ported? My KEF’s have 2 rear ports and a couple of different “Tuned” inserts to change the bass characteristics. Back in history, ... 
Less Is Really More - Schiit's New Yggdrasil DAC - Less Is More
Thanks for the Yiggy review. I have an original Bifrost and it sounds good. I also have a Denifrips Pontus ll and it sounds way better when A/B’d.  I would be very interested in hearing a review comparing the Yggdrasil to let’s say the Denifrips ... 
Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped?
The receiver in the garage is a Sony. The receiver in the office is a Kenwood. The receiver in the basement is a Yamaha. The downstairs system is Acoustat & Audio Research. The upstairs system is new.  
Chord DAVE DAC
“hmmm, maybe I need a high end system in the bathroom.” @ghdprentice George, you crack me up!    
Bang & Olufsen beolab 90 $115,000 Pair
I’m rushing out to get two pairs for my quadraphonic setup.😁  
Subwoofers and Crossovers.
No problem,  I was just thinking, that if you have purchased the minidsp and the Dirac software, they would be a place to start. Hey, let us know your thoughts about what you end up with. JD  
U2 live. Music realism
I don’t care if it’s Bono, Ted Nugent or Carlos Santana, I pay my money to hear the music and not to hear them speaking from a soapbox!  
Subwoofers and Crossovers.
You might want to check out the SVS Pro series. They have an app that’s really pretty good so you can adjust everything from your listening position with having to get up and down over and over until you have it the way you want it to sound.    A...
