Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
I didn't really understand what he's saying either. I'm betting his hifi rose sounds much better than the node, it does more than just pass a signal. I got some big improvements with ethernet switches and adding a lps to my node. I look forward to...

I would think the lumin would make a big difference. I believe it reclocks the signal as well. I was looking at upgrading to the lumin as well.

It's not class d, it's a digital amp. Technics has a ganfet digital amp also.

Is it safe to bypass the first fuse in the IEC outlet? How do I tell if it's fast or slow for the ceramic one inside?

No, meant to say, it should. Sorry. I wasn't thinking about the other parts either. How did you mod ipurifier?

If you add the ifi spdif ipurifier 2 to the node it will sound as good as the Zen.    There's a 32v switch mode power supply with an 8A fuse. Nichicon caps on both the power supply and amplifier board. Elegant Audio solutions 200s Rev A board. W...

What mod do you do to the amp?

Has anyone compared the Gan 1 to the technics sug700 m2? Both use the ganfets and are all digital. Is the extra $700, soon to be $900, worth it if only using streaming? Does it have better sound quality?   
Denafrips Iris vs ifi spdif ipurifier 2
I found the gustard u18 which does the same thing as the denafrips, plus it's returnable. I'm going to test it out to see if I get any improvements. If denafrips had free returns I would have tried that. We'll see what happens.   
Where to invest the most in the "digital chain"?
@jabbaman what router and wifi circuit did you use? Do you have a link to the mods?  In my system the 3d sound stage dissappears over wifi. With one modded meraki 220, it’s kinda there, but with two, that is where the magic happens.

I got big improvements with ifi spdif ipurifier 2 and 2 meraki routers cascaded by fiber. From my bluesound node n130.

I haven't bought the minidsp yet, I am still deciding if I need it or not. Thanks for the info though. I was using a denafrips ares 2 dac with an ifi spdif ipurifier 2 connected by a Mowgami coax cable to bluesound node . No preamp, was using the ...

Got mine today. Very detailed, very realistic. Improvement in sound stage and separation over my musical fidelity m6s prx.   
Tekton ultimate crossover upgrade
It's a factory upgrade,  I'm not touching them.

Looking at the Moab.  I thinking the price to parts quality is there.  Mainly looking for listening impressions or if people think the Mundorf parts will bring a real step up in SQ or sound stage.
