| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @simao Along the lines of what @jl35 states- I used an Oppo for spinning disks a few years ago as well, it eventually wore me down. I can put up with it for a short period of time then I have to turn it off. As for DAC’s- while there are differ... | |

| Buying Service? @ajant Have you considered looking into an older Theta Digital Casablanca? You might find one configured with the quantity of balanced outputs your looking for. I’m not familiar with their support of older versions but I see them offered for les... | |
| Buying Service? @ajant Surprising that Exasound has already discontinued this product as it doesn’t seem to have been on the market that long. Have you looked into the Okto Research? https://www.stereophile.com/content/okto-research-dac8-pro-da-processor I’ve... | |

| R2R SACD Player? @chauncey I’m not familiar with the details of so many products out there but being the owner of an Oppo 105-D I speak from my own experience- use something else if you want high quality sound reproduction. I used the Oppo for about 2 years- both... | |

| The Impossible Has Happened Their editor in chief must have been on a 3 month vacation with no cell service or electricity to not have “proofed” that out. Then again- maybe it was read ahead of time and inserting the word “ALMOST” was made mandatory. Either way, it’s not eno... | |
| Do you find yourself turning down the bass on Coldplay albums? No- but then again I have no tone controls. I don’t listen to them much but never noted bass to be an issue with their recordings. | |
| Qobuz + Lumin = Headache @johnah5 I recently started using the U2 Mini and stream with Qobuz and while I found the app to be NOT the most intuitive it got easier once I read through the online tutorial. I use the Lumin app as opposed to the Qobuz app- there is a moment... | |
