Which DAC in the chain is playing?
Cut the shitty attitude, fuzztone. A lot of us are here to learn and don’t need your disrespect.  
Mola Mola Tambaqui
Hollowman, show us a photo of the Mola in your system. You can’t, because you are an idiotic, grammarless, pathetic, lying troll. 
CD Player Recommendations…
Arcam. 
ORANGE Fuse rejected
A fuse makes no difference to the sound. Wow. How gullible do you have to be to believe that it makes a difference? 
Single vs. Dual Subs
@millercarbon Lose the attitude. You’re an a**hole. 
Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound.
Icon Audio BA3 tube buffer. Use it between your CD player and your amp. It’s excellent. Sorted!

CD v Streamed
My Innuos Zen 3 through the Denafrips Pontus sounds excellent. It stores CDs on its hard drive and I also use it to stream from Qobuz. Qobuz is handy but even hi-res files don’t sound as good as CD. 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
I use Russ Andrews/Kimber 8TC speaker cable for my L,C,Rs. Expensive.I use cheap Fisual cable for my surrounds. I recently bought a 200 ft spool of 14 gauge wire for UK £20. I experimented and have tried it with my main speakers. There is absolute... 
Best Bang for your Buck DAC ?
@bcdavid I agree. Denafrips make fantastic DACS. Have you also tried their Iris?
