HDCD To MacMini To Ayre QB9 Twenty DAC
I have recently ripped a few HDCD discs onto my server.  I run Roon with an Ayre QX5/20 as an endpoint and the Ayre recognized the files as HDCD when they were selected and played.  I had never seen the specIal HDCD indicator light up before and I...

The Purpleheart has been the most difficult cartridge to set up I have owned.  The stylus is set under it far enough that you cannot directly visualize it from the front on a protractor.  After I worked by mirror reflection to achieve the Löfgren ...
