| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC One reason would be that they aren't interested in trading up and they want to sell now before their MKII's take a bigger hit in value (which will likely occur when the DSD's are in full swing). Or, they hope to get more than the $2000 PS Audio is... | |

| JRiver 19 playback Yes, what Gz3827 said. You have to generate your own key by checking the box next to "Use Media Network to share this library and enable DLNA" | |

| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it ha ha....that's 'test' not 'teat'. | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Obviously there are two sides to the cable debate. The objectivists are always teasing about this 'golden ears' ability that the subjectivists supposedly must possess to hear differences.

| The future for a current Squeezebox user I'm not sure there is a problem. Your system works now and is self-contained within your intranet. It should work just like it does now until something wears out. The fact that Logitech isn't supporting it anymore just means you won't get possible... | |
| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC "Anyone who has paid full price for a MKI, MKII and now this is likely in $10K"I meant full price MKI to MKII upgrade to DSD upgrade. | |
| PS Audio unveils their PS Audio Directstream DAC The original PWD was highly regarded and extremely well- reviewed...yet the PWD MKII was supposedly way better....like no-brainer better, and now the DSD version is supposed to be 'way better' again.

| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? "That the upgraded fuses are blowing and the stock fuses are not would indicate to me that the stock fuses are more forgiving and the upgraded fuses are only doing what they are supposed to do-self destruct before something awful happens."You coul... | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? I had my first audiophile fuse blow in my tube integrated within a few days (hi fi tuning silver star). I started doing some research on some of the other brands and found one that said in small print at the bottom of the ad that it was not design... | |

| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? IMO, to say that an upgraded fuse or power cord can't improve SQ because it "defies the laws of physics", or some other science, implies physicists and other scientists have learned 100% of everything there is to possibly know...which is pretty na... | |
