Alternative absorbent acoustic material?
I don't believe that's what they are talking about about it isn't very dense.  Panels made of "fiberboard " is what's generally used.  Mineral wool panels are also an option.  Lots of YouTube videos about it.  
What's my best upgrade options
You didn't mention your room.  Every flat surface in your room is a transducer that reflects, cancels and muddies the sound.  How much does you sound change when you stand up?  How about when you lean forward in your listening chair?  Unless you h... 
How to set up volume control on a DAC without a preamp
@lanx0003  Different AlbumPlayer.  It's still active and sounds fantastic.  https://albumplayer.ru/ There is a learning curve to get the most out of the upsampleing  but the DSD sounded pretty good on my previous DAC.   It is a very basic player... 
How to set up volume control on a DAC without a preamp
I'm going thru the exact same thing.  My amp does have its own manual volume control so I can use the DAC but after getting used to remote volume control on my previous DAC I'm also looking for a different solution. I tried a Schitt SAGA and it d... 
Next step up on the streaming food chain?
@audiotroy  Quick question.  Does the EVO 432 actually retune 440Hrz to 432Hrz?  
Digital Reclockers are they worth the extra Effort - IMO YES
per https://mojo-audio.com/blog/7-myths-of-digital-audio-dispelled/ by Benjamin Zwickel The cheapest quartz clock they use in a $100 DVD player has more accuracy than you can hear, something like .005%. And you cannot hear the difference between... 
Six DAC Comparison
Just purchased the Mojo Audio Mystique X SE  (sabs z chips) I can't wait to hear your thoughts.  
Speakers that disappear
+1 @rick_n  Every flat surface in the room becomes a transducer and effects the original sound wave.  Not known for the diminutive size or WAF but once you hear a proper open baffle set up correctly its hard to forget.  
DACs - Holo/Kitsune, Bricasti, PS Audio, dCS, etc
You should give Ben Zwickel at Mojo Audio Inc a call.  He not only answers the phone but you actually talk to the person who doesn't just fix it he designed and built it.  There is a caution he's a talker but if you can describe it he can explain ... 
Are all streamers the same?
All streamers are not the same.  Some are taller

New speakers for a new start?
Except for our taste in music your journey sounds very similar to mine that I (re)started over a decade ago. I’ve learned SOO much with trial and error. In the Pacific Northwest there is a lot of really good stereo churn and just about anything s... 
I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?
I would suspect 50K speakers haven't had a very hard life. There are very few 50K party speakers.  The other option is to find a used pair of even better speakers for 50K.  You would be less likely to want to exchange them in the future.  
Streamer observation / question to those who know
Thank you I seems that many have compared PCs to streamers and based on their experience streamers have come out ahead and I respect and don’t deny that. I don’t have that experience so I’m relying on the AGon community to share and you have and ...
