Recommend me a DAC under 3k
Buying used is a great way to to up your sound quality.  A DAC has no moving parts so the risk is much lower. For your $3000 dolloars it would be hard to beat a used PSAudio DirectStream Dac $6000 new with the transformer upgrades. Currentlly Au... 
Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality?
I don’t think Neson Pass tested asbestos wires but probably not the best of ideas anyway. Do you have any idea how good Nelson’s ears must have been back then? Per Nelson Pass Who am I to dispute the feelings of audiophiles who, evaluating any...

When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?
DACs are dead..  long live digital http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/The_Audio_Revolution_has_begun.html  
When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?
That wasn't my understanding of how class D works.  Yes the digital signal is being converted to an analog signal but at the amplifier section not at the input section.  A DAC converts digital to analog but a class D amp to my understanding does t... 
When Will the DAC Singularity Be Reached?
Or will the need for DACs be simply eliminated. I predict that DACs will eventually be used only in the esoteric realm like turntables and CD players are used today. The "audiophiles" are ageing and as technology moves past them more products like... 
Need advice on what to purchase to hold 1TB of music and connect to my new Innuos Pulsar.
In my experience 1TB just isn't enough.  A 2TB thumb drive using the USB 2.0 port will work just fine.  It doesn't require an additional power supply and use the money you save to purchase more music.  
MHDT Orchid with WE 396A Unbalanced
I have an Orchid and preferred the 6922  with adapter to the 5670.  The 7311 seemed to extend the top end for me while the NOS bugle boy D getters sure were nice.  As good as the DAC is I replaced it with PSAudio DirectStream DAC.  It should be b... 
AES/EBU vs RCA s/pdif into dac, RCA analog out
I'm currently running AES/EBU and RCA Digital into my DAC and RCA analog to my amp.  The DAC has a remote control and all inputs are available so it's just a matter of switching inputs from the remote. I'm not running any special digital cables. ... 
Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song?
Then wouldn't the real question be how to get the episode back instead?    
Would It Be Possible To Get Help Finding This Song?
Just ask your phone what's this song?    
Best Forum to hear experienced audiophiles exchange thoughts?
This site can be improved by over 20% by dumping your wifi connection and directly connecting using CAT9 ethernet cable.  The answers are clearer and it cuts down on all the background noise. Positioning your monitor for optimal  viewing is criti... 
cheapest speaker made in the last 10 year that can beat any speaker made before 1970?
Ain't gonna happen.  There are camps that feel the Quad ESLs and the Klipsch Khorns are some of the  finest still today.    
What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage?
@blisshifi  What happens to the image when the tweeter array is on on the inside (switching the left and right positions)? I would expect less toe in would be required and a a much better focus of the image but with the narrowing of the sweet spo...
