@mpomerantz Which dac are you using and does it include an AES input? Are your coaxial outputs BNC or RCA cinch connectors?

That’s unfortunate for everyone involved- you would think if that were the case they would have gone for a larger space (as you pointed out above). It’s hard to imagine 15’ between speakers being a requirement for optimal sound-   
My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions?
@simao  See my post from yesterday- it is the same recommendation that you received from Oppo. I haven’t used Tidal on an Oppo in some time and remember it becoming more clunky as Tidal’s services changed (Oppo app never changed with it). If you... 
Does anybody pay a pro to dial their system in?
@thomastrouble  You definitely are setting up a small room! While there are many great suggestions here in sharing my experience I would say that it does help to hire an experienced professional with the proper measurement gear.  When setting up ...

Did you happen to see any of the Aries Cerat gear while you were there? I heard Audio Research had some really nice sounding demonstrations.

During my working career I hired out almost everything purely because of a lack of time. Now that I’m retired it’s completely different. I actually don’t mind letting professionals do the work when they demonstrate a high level of expertise. I hat... 
Sbooster with Lumin PSA
Warranty realities aside- I wonder how the external power supply that Lumin makes for the higher end models compares to the more popular aftermarket offerings. I know they charge a higher price but has anyone compared it to the performance of thos... 
Sbooster with Lumin PSA
@javaruke  I too use the U2 Mini and believe it performs well for streaming. I did want to ask you if you’ve heard any noticeable noise through your system while listening to the Lumin. Since owning mine I can recall (2-3) times where I’ve notice...
