Playing DSD files from a memory stick
rego, Thanks for the link. It doesn’t mention my Oppo, so now, I’m thinking about something new.mahler, yes.  My AVR and Sony Blueray play it just fine.  I’m thinking I need to update my spinner and just started looking at the Yamaha -S2100, but I... 
Playing DSD files from a memory stick
I had a 105 and it died years ago and now I have a 93.  The spinner works just fine and it does read sacs, but it doesn’t see DSD files.Maybe I’ll look for another 103/105 because I do still use sacd’s and I’m probably not going to get into stream...

Power Amp
Do you turn the amp off when you’re not listening?  Power tubes should last at least  1000-2000 hours depending on type and usage . All the best.JD 
Are there any tube amps that don't give off any---
