Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k
I had the hi rose 130 transport snd sold it after a week. In my system it had no life and no jump factor. I was very disappointed. I thought the Eversolo A8  was better. I finally happened to get a deal on a aurender N200 and the foot tapping cam... 
Eversolo Flagship DMP -8 - Dac Streamer Server Preamp- A True Audiophile Bargain
I have owned every Eversolo product and the master with LPS. I will say for the money they are good value. Sound wise not my cup of tea. The A6’s too forward and bright in my system. I was not happy with local streaming with my music. Tried extern... 
Buying from Japan...Accuphase or Luxman what are the costs ? import duties etc
Aduoguy you are WRONG! I bought an Accuphase new from ebay with USA 120 Volts. Only paid about 60 bucks custom fee. FedEx just billed me as they acted as my agent. I enjoyed paying 4K for a 9K us amp.Warranty? I dont think you would ever need ser... 
Accuphase, fuses
Rfprice   I have never used the stock powercord on my Accuphase so cant say stock it better. Maybe I will have to try and see.     
Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear
I have several intergated amps that i do a rotation. I have always wanted a Mac with those blue meters.  I purchased a Ma 352 which is a hybrid. So I have Pass, Accuphase, Hegal. I noticed that when I rotate the Mac, it tends to stay in play the l... 
A quick question on what streamers to consider.......
You want simple no hassle? Just get the top amazon Alexa. You can get more than one a sync them together. That’s what I use for background. No need turning on my 35k audio system to clean house.   
Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200
Markmuse, I have both cardas usb. I am using the Highspeed cardas on my May KTE Dac. It is more refined on the top end. The clear is darker in comparison. Good to tame any glare.

What’s the best DAC < 6k (system specific)
I use a Pass 250, Aurender N200 to a recently purchased May KTE. I have never been happier. I like Warm, not hyper-detail. The combo works so well together, it is as if I am using a turntable. I have had a schitt Ygg, various Denefries, up to the ... 
Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200
I have the N200 with cardas USB. I have no glare at all. I’ve had several DACS and streamers and I have yet to find anything to replace the cardas, if you like warm and full sound.   
DAC vs Music Server
My experience was the opposite. My May Dac KTE bought me richness and realism.   
How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components?
i enjoyed reading all the answer's and I am sure the fellow that asked about the percentage question is more confused now then before. I have been in audio since I was 12( now 69} and in MY experience it’s just trial and error. I will say the room...

Hifi Rose 150 and my audio journey
Congrats! I had purchased the HI FI. Rose 130. Found a very good deal on it. However I sold it as it did not work well in my system. I ended up with a Aurender, and it worked perfect in my system. I’ve had both Eversolo A6, A6 master,and the A8. T... 
Aurender Conductor App Question
When I select my playlist it fills most of the screen except a small section on the left, that is the queue. I am not sure if I answered your question.
