DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices
Much appreciated Dave. That link should keep me busy for a while ;)Dave 
DAC Regenerator and Reclocking Devices
Thanks Dave. I will be greatly interested in your findings when you start subtracting devices from the chain and also your other comparisons. The SOtM line is interesting to me but I find it to be a little confusing to understand the options from ... 
Which personal confuser for ultra high end audio, MAC, PC, notebook, tablet or desktop?
"Is someone now going to chime in and say the Ethernet cable itself matters too?" Hi Jim, I recently installed an Aurender as my server/renderer/streamer (replacing my laptop) to my DAC. The Aurender requires Ethernet connection to my router/modem...

Hi Dave,Why all the intermediary devices? Are you sourcing from PC/Mac? Educate me please sir.Dave 
Recommendation for a power conditioner
Excellent post archimedesaz. Welcome to Audiogon forums!Dave 
Line Conditioner - Small (3 outlets or less)
mjmch2003, I too like the flexibility of interchanging power cords, but I look at the CPT Equi=Core 50/150/300 AS a power cord, only with a network (the balanced power unit) built into it, also with the option of adding an outlet strip to feed mor... 
Line Conditioner - Small (3 outlets or less)
Maybe one of the smaller CPT models like the Equi=Core 50 or the 150 for sale here on Audiogon.Dave 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
Best wishes for success, Arte. Let us know how it works out.Dave 
Is Classe AUdio no longer???
Judging without trying again, shadorne?  Dave 
Oppo UDP - 205
Understood David. I too have recently become immersed in streaming Tidal and bought a few 192/24 downloads from HDtracks that sound superb. All using an Aurender N100H server/renderer/streamer as the source to the different DACs. I have found that... 
Oppo UDP - 205
No doubt there is usually substantial monetary cost to getting from a 6 to a 10, gdhal. Likely much less to get to an 8 or 9 and perhaps that could be the target for those who are ready to explore producing better sound from their Oppos :) Dave 
Directionality of wire
Right on mitch2. Kinda like shadorne ridiculing the potential sonic benefits of such products without ever trying them because he is so "cognitively selective". And bringing global warning into this totally unrelated topic demonstrates the "appeal... 
Oppo UDP - 205
David,Agree that network-based audio changes things up due to the limited streaming/rendering capability of the 205. On comparative sound quality of the MW mod vs a $1k to 2.5k DAC, I have owned 2 so far. The Hegel HD-12 and the Exogal Comet Plus ... 
Oppo UDP - 205
ozzy’s comparative ratings of the sound quality of the DirectStream DAC (10) and the 205 (6) seem right on. 4 points is huge! The cost to close at least three of the four points is anywhere from $2500 for the ModWright 205 mod to about the same (p... 
Is Classe AUdio no longer???
I own a Hegel HD-12 which is designed in Norway and manufactured in China and an Aurender N100H server/renderer/streamer made in South Korea and have found both to be excellent products.The Aurender is among the best constructed and finished audio...
