Got Innuous, now a DAC
I ended up with a Denafrips Pontus II 12th.    
Why did you purchase the equipment you have and what do you like most about it?
Dealer? What dealer!  I retired.  The plan was to buy a decent set of Bluetooth. speakers, Edifier S2000 Pro.  My son, who also loves music, came home.  Can we listen to music?  The big system is not even hooked up.  The preamp was noisy, it was ... 
Qobuz vs Tidal
Had Amazon 5 yrs.  Good suggestions.  Problems with sorting, etc. Too much Atmospheric or 3D.  Sometimes it work Qobuz sound is very good. I use the Bluetooth app and the web app for Innuous Sense.  I can navigate around much better than Amazon. ... 
$3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ?
Just saw some Tannoy on TMR today.  Real close to your original 3500. Nice cabinet Open baffles open and relaxed if you have room.  Won't be a problem driving them. Many speakers take too much power.    
Streamer Recommendations
Innuous Zen or other brands come with a CD burner and I have seen 4 TB drives. The biggest thing beside the sound is what software is used.  You might be able to sign up for internet radio for free.  
R2R next? Don't like ESS
@drmuso when I looked Friday it said 20%. Anyway, I just went through a review because my Topping D90 AKM4499 needs replaced.  The tariff has many people confused, including manufacturers.  I will list some brands that are good IMO.  Border Patr... 
Got Innuous, now a DAC
Thanks everybody.  I have been looking at Holo Audio.  I could get a Cyan 2 for $1100 from Kitsune, the US dealer. It takes up to 6 wks while ghey are built. They are all over Ebay for about $1800.  Puzzling.  I would prefer the Spring.  The trick... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Lounging to my 5400 A-Z list of songs.  All styles, all dates  
speaker upgrade fever
Lots of good brands that will work.  Your amp has good power.  I think I have seen Vandy 4 used for about 10k or so.  Otherwise I would just repeat other recommendations   
Got Innuous, now a DAC
Some good suggestions.  @soix The DDC is a good tip. @gdnrbob You are correct.  I would also receive solid support from Ayre.  I see several for sale. Denafrips is good sound for the price Gustard sounds like my Topping.  A manual that is unint...

Speaking of tubes, what about Border Patrol  
Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others)
I had Node 2i with updated power supply.  I used Amazon HD.  When I wanted to use QOBUZ, it was not good.  Several months later BLUOS was not upgraded to work with QOBUZ.  Some newer Bluesound may have QOBUZ loaded.  Irregardless,  I want to sit d... 
Pass....Accuphase....or......
I have owned XA25 for 5 yrs.  25W Class A and it has over 80 W output capability.  I bought this brand because of reliability.  It is overbuilt!  It weighs 49 lbs.  It gets warm.  I have 100dB Klipsch Cornwall clones.  I use a passive preamp.  The... 
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
Seems legit to me.  Yes, he has a business and promotes it.  Don't have to watch or buy.  
Innuous Pulse vs Pulsar
I bought a Zen Mk3.  Just listened to it today.  I had upgraded from the node 2i.  It was immediate.  All facets of the music and recording improved by quite a bit.  I only had time to listen to a couple songs.  Innuous is the real deal.  Wish I c...
